I doesn't rain here. Yesterday we got a half inch of it. There's our annual rainfall here. If the "SOB's and their Mothers in the SUV's"would learn to drive in it, I would'nt mind riding in it.

I've got not an ounce of pity for you rain whiners. It started raining here in September. Usually stops around July.At the moment it's 49 degrees, horizontal rain with some serious wind howling about. Pretty much normal for this time of year. We do get a few days here and there where the rain lets up. The ground soaks up the water so well, an hour after the rain stops, it hardly looks like it rained. Henceforth, it's ridable. This is nothing compared with what you people in snow country have to deal with. I'll take this anyday.
