First rain

Jayne's in his first rainstorm today. I guess its not really a "storm" as we're only expecting one inch of rain. But come on, its southern California, so he's not going to see much more than this.

No, it doesn't count because the first rain is when you forget to put the top up!!!

Blah...so the storm is in LA atm, eh? I've heard that it's supposed to start raining in San Diego about 1:00PMish.

I'm sitting here in my office looking out the window at LilTiger. Even with the clouds above she looks clean and shiny. But I know the wetness is coming, and by the time I leave for the commute home she'll have a duuuurdy butt

The only upside is...the forecast says that this storm is moving fast. It's going to dump its load and move East. Soooo, Saturday will be a great day to wash and wax.

And I forgot to mention, I ordered the Raggtopp top cleaner and water repellant over the weekend, but it hasn't come yet. I just know it will come today out of spite.

Careful Tig - supposed to rain again on Sunday..... Can't wait to see the breathless reporters on the news tonight standing out in the rain telling us it's raining in SoCal.

You gotta love our Weathermen in SoCal. It started raining promptly at 1PM. The fact that they forecasted some rain, and it actually IS, is newsworthy! What other profession can you provide incorrect information as frequently as they do and still remain employed?
