So it rained here today in LA, no big deal for the rest of the country. Well, it's a big deal here for some reason. It's the lead story on the news, team coverage in different areas where it rained and some of the minute problems it causes. They talk to people about the rain, like citizens here are gonna give some deep insight on rain and how it affects their lives in profound ways. The Doppler 7000+ is brought out to show that yes it is in fact raining in the area, like we needed a weatherperson to tell us that. Just look outside your window and you can get a good idea that it's raining.
Sorry for that rant, the news here bugs me when Team Coverage is spent on something like rain. The other thing about it raining here is the fact that people don't know how to drive in the rain here. Truly the idiots come out in wet weather. Accidents galore, people trying to cross roads that may be deep with water and then get stuck when their car drive through the water. People just freak out here over rain, and I don't understand why, it's just water.
Today I went over to my friend Kerry's parent's house because I was told that her father made some of his world famous chili. In the years that I've known the family (it's been 8 years) for one reason or another, I never had the chili. I go over and the chili was the perfect food on this cold, wet day. The rest of my time at the house was spent watching old VHS tapes of the family through the years. I saw Kerry when she was a little girl, I saw her brother Kris who is now 6'1 250 when he was 3 and I saw Kim in her high school days with the 80's HUGE hair that was popular during those days. I also saw a video tape of Kim's oldest son, who's now 7, when he was 8 months old. Scary thing for me looking at that tape was that I remember him being born like it was yesterday.
My how time flies so fast. All in all, it was a great day, my last day of vacation before I go back to school tomorrow. Back to the daily study of computer servers, network setups and various other computer subjects I'd rather not talk about right now. I'd rather just think about the awsome game that just ended tonight betweent the Kings and Dallas Stars, with the Kings winning in OT 3-2. It was such an awesome game to watch tonight, the perfect ending to my week+ vacation.

Yes, people here freak out when it rains. ;)
It sounds like you had a good day at Kerry's. They're such a nice family. Good luck on your first day back! I am having a difficult time waking up and I have to be in a little earlier than usual. ugh.
Do they freak out there about the rain because it just doesn't rain alot out there? How many days a year do you think it rains there? Just curious.
Like the rest of us...Christmas Break is over and it's back to the grindstone! :)
Kind of like the idiots trying to drive in snow here in indiana when it snows. Do they slow down for slickness NO and at one point in Indy the cops were out stopping them atop a hill and letting one car go at a time. That's bad when the cops actually have to get out and tell people to use common sense. lol
Marie - yeah, i love that family, they take good care of me. I had an awful time waking up this morning, only getting 4 hours sleep.
Vixen - It doesn't rain too much around here, and so no one can handle it when it does. The wettest month I'd say is February, i know this cuz that's my birthday month and it's always cloudy cold and wet around my b-day.
DBE - Yes, it just floors me how people can have such disregard for safety in dangerous conditions. I've never driven in snow, i can imagine that gets pretty scary when the roads get icy and slick.
Stupid crap like that on the news baffles me too. Sounds like you had a good day though - the chili sounds yummy right about now.
Now, go get ready to learn all about servers, networks, etc...IT is my line of work! :)
(Oh, and I added you to my links. Hope that was ok.)
