We had our first real rain of the season today and the traffic was as usual affected. A freeway closure because of debris in storm-drains resulting in a mudslide only signified the usual surprise when the rain actually arrives in a place that gets around 15 or 16 inches of rain in a year. Traffic was slower than usual, which is probably a good thing because people here are just not very good drivers to begin with and it seems that too many people don’t know or don’t respect the rules of the road to begin with. It was a fat moving storm that arrived late morning and by the time I write this early evening it is already moving out and we can start drying up, I don’t think we got that much out of it, but – hey we need all the rainfall we can get so let’s be thankful.
