I'M NOT READY!
It's still early, so chances are this dreaded Pacific Northwest rain isn't here to stay just yet... But WOW what a reunion between me and that dreaded force!
It got me good twice on my drive to Eugene a few days ago--to the point where you can't see no matter how fast your wipers are going, you have a death-grip on the steering wheel and the freeway has turned into a lake and you know that at any given moment, you might hydroplane. But the coolest thing about this drive? At one point when the sun was peeking out momentarily behind me (but the rain kept falling), I was being chased by a rainbow! No joke! In my rear-view mirror I could see a rainbow following me on the highway behind my car. Cooool.
Today, the rain and I met again face-to-face, as I risked walking the one mile to my local branch of the library. Luckily, I grabbed a rain jacket at the last minute just in case. I have to say, though, it feels good to be back in the rainy PNW. Despite not wanting the sunny blue skies to be over, being gone from here for so long I am actually kind of embracing this rain...
Maybe it can just wait a little longer, though... ?
