Wimpafornia
It's been raining here in San Francisco the past two days. Yes, big deal for most of the world, but in California it very rarely rains from May-November. As one could imagine, chaos has set in.
BART shut down for an hour yesterday. Traffic has been terrible. People are freaking out and becoming depressed. This morning, we had a two-hour blackout at work - and it wasn't even drizzling!
To me, this is one of the best reasons not to raise kids in California - they turn into wimps. Also, they grow up thinking there's not much to see outside of California, that the East Coast is populated entirely by mean people, that living without world-class beaches and skiing nearby is torture, and that terrible pizza is acceptable.

Freaking out? Becoming depressed?
Well, ho-ho, my tough parents came to town, and they didn't give a crap. I asked 'em, "Guys, what do you wanna do? It's your vacation, but it's raining. You wanna stay inside and drink beer?"
(This is a legitimate option for them, as they live in Wisconsin, and staying inside and drinking beer is the state past-time, second only to building shrines to Brett Favre.)
But no! They turned down my generous offer of beer, grabbed some umbrellas, and let me march them through downtown on a soggy day.
Not half bad, eh? And we loved it more than the natives did!
PS - I still like Bowser's Pizza. Cornmeal crust, baby!
by the way - with all the rain ya'll have gotten, we have had a heat wave - 100 degrees on friday and saturday and sunday - and may is the time of torrential rain here...
