No Rain...

California is a dry place. I have lived here for two months and not seen a drop of rain on the ground. I will admit that I have seen the dirty, droplet-shaped marks on my car twice that allude to at least fifty drops of rain falling in the area.

It is hard to imagine that I would miss the rain so damned much. Rain gives life; I love the clean, glistening look of the roads and the shimmering sheen on the foliage's leaves as they increase their respiration following a downpour.

Just a day of rain to cleanse the area of dust and detritus is all I ask. Why must the weather be so damned "nice?"

I hate the lack of rain almost as much as the song regarding no rain...
