Where I come from the weather doesn't change that quick...oh and it only rains this hard maybe twice a year...

My response to the man on the bus when I walked on soaking wet. So its been a bit. This week was good. Saturday I went on a white house tour which was fun just the old historic part which is lame in respects to what really goes on there but is still cool to see, but i did see the painting of Kennedy which is used in the opening clips of American President my fav movie. Then wandered a bit, around the mall and through the Air and Space museum. Didn't find what I was looking for but it was still good. We had a few people over so I got to meet some more people which is always good. Work this week was good. I didn't give a single tour which in ways is sad. Wrote a summary of all the ear marks we made for appropriations, a new constitent letter on Veterans Affairs, and spent alot of time running two and from the committee hearing this week. Along with all the old stuff. Today was nice, random stuff in the morning and then had a lunch with Redland's students and Alums. It was nice to get a taste of home. Then got half the day off so I decided to just walk home. Problem is it may seem just like a nice and normal hot and humid day but not thats not all. I made it about 2/3 of the way home when it starts sprinkeling and I go oh this is nice its hot out. Then it picks up a bit so I pull out my umbrella (which I now carry EVERYWHERE). Then about 2 minutes after this all started it is pouring, the sky falling down and blowing from all angles. Luckly I was only about 100 yards from a gas station where there is a bus stop. So that leads me to my title. I sit down on the bus after waiting about 5 minutes and I hop on and the guy who I sit across from just comments on my wetness. Its not my fault that I expect warning for rain and nothing you can't protect yourself from with an umbrella. So I get home watch the last two episodes of the Buffy/Angel story which is extremely depressing still (oh and that Love Song is NOT ON DVD, and even if i had my VHS copy I do not have a VCR). Then I decided to go shopping. Needed a few things. It is amazing to have headphones that work properly. I would say it was a successful trip even though I did not find the skirt I want but I did get tips that may help. I am supposed to have tomorrow off but that may change since I want to take some time off next week for a much more convenient trip to Jersey. It will all work it self out though...just planning on waking up early either way...

Megan!

Just a little quick statistical frame of reference....

Annual Precipitation is measured on a July - June year....so, with two days to go in the year, Riverside has had 2.75 inches of rain....FOR THE YEAR...

So far THIS MONTH, DC has had something like 1.9 inches.... and with more rain coming today, you might actually catch up!

Love ya

Dad
