Monsoon!

I drove home yesterday through a monsoon rain! Fortunately, I had peeked at the sky and placed my guitar in the cab of my truck. My wipers were at full blast, and even on Gun Alley, everyone was going about 40 mph. It rained through the night, but not as heavily. We may get more rain today. How is the weather in your neck of the woods?

@rebelann But he called San Francisco "Frisco." That's like calling California "Cali." It is NOT done here.

Aussie summer is supposed to be here. But it's still chilly at nights and cool in the day. We had a couple of hot days. Weird for summertime!

It's fine here but overcast. On the opposite side of Australia and to the north, they're experiencing horrendous floods again.

@TheHorse I think they're much the same but we don't often get 'twisters' if that's what you call them.

Do they still have snow in Iowa? I played baseball for my college in Iowa. There was snow at the bases of the outfield fences. Heck , I could have been drafted as an outfielder except...except...I sucked .

@LindaOHio Sloppy slushy melting snow. (With yellow in it, for good measure.) Memories of Chicago.

I like it when I drive in the rain on smooth and free roads

I can be very pretty and relaxing. But it can be dangerous when visibility is down and there's traffic.

@septabchips Is there little traffic on some of the roads you drive? I have never been to Africa.
