It's been
raining all day. It's been raining all week in fact, but today it has just
poured and poured. The grassy depression next to the building I work in at the
university is now a small
lake. It makes me wonder what the roads will be like.
I already know...huge
puddles where the
water table has reached the surface and there is no unsaturated area left to
infiltrate. Crazy folk in
SUV's driving too fast because they feel safe. The
elderly and the
sane driving to slow just to be
safe. The rain-slicked roads are a
dangerous place to be when driving in
the sunshine state.
Don't get me worng, I love the rain. I love the rainy season. It gives back some life to this overdrained
swampland.
I am just not looking forward to driving home in it.
2 hours later:
I just went out to my car. It won't start. It figures.
