It's SATURDAY!  Whew, and what a Saturday it is!  We were looking at a calendar and it's the day after Friday and the day before Sunday.  WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?  When we were kids they hadn't invented Friday yet (TGIF was still just another hightech dream, along with PS2, WII and MILF!).  Of course when we were kids we also had to walk five miles everyday uphill IN THE SNOW to get to school.  That's why we dropped out in third grade (actually Stacy made halfway through fourth grade until the "issue" with the principal and the spanking).  Anyway, speaking of weather - WOW!

Look, we live in Palm Springs (YEAH BABY! - SOCAL!) and it's a desert.  Say it again with us, "IT'S A FREAKIN' DESERT!"  In a "normal" year we get somewhere around 1/2" of rain (not kidding - and that's in an entire YEAR!).  So, this rainfall year (which runs from July to June - they're messin' with our heads!) we've recieved almost two inches and it's raining again right now.  We know that you're all thinking that if it ain't at least seven or eight inches...ah...er....oh yeah, we were talking about rainfall - sorry.  Anyway, in a desert, half an inch of rain in one storm causes massive flooding, loss of property and, well, honestly?  FUN!

Folks, we spend all but six days a year (on average measured July to June at the Palm Springs Airport by some underpaid and over challenged government employee) in blistering sun (but it's a "dry heat!").   Rain is hip, it's cool, it's... it's... it's the new black!  If rain wasn't so much fun, why does the Sharper Image sell a machine that makes sounds like rain?  Yeah, flooding is bad, property loss is bad, and SoCal is getting pounded right now, but you know what?  It's Saturday and we know a bar where the roof doesn't leak...

      
Rain in Palm Spings?  Stacy can't believe the Doppler!                  Kevin puts on the tire chains - come on, it's raining!

      
Kevin makes "rain angels" in the puddles.                         Not enough rain to make a rainman, or have rainball fight!
