Why does it always rain on me?

Ok - it hasn't rained on me since April 20th. But it rained yesterday. And it was unbelievable - it was the headline news on the local tv station. The whole segment lasted about 5 minutes and was entitled "Storm Watch", and this was for a wee bit of rain. People here are just not set up for rain and don't seem able to cope. There were around 20 accidents in the space of an hour on the major roads around Sacramento. A couple of the accidents involved police cars which has got to hurt.

There was a special weather reporter who was out looking at how wet the streets were, and when the camera panned down there was a wet road, no puddles, just a slightly damp road. The weatherman is obviously not used to reporting other weather other than sunshine so when the rain came yesterday he was thrown into a panic and decided to draw all over the map with one of those computer pens so beloved of Andy Gray. He drew so much that it was impossible to see any of the map beneath, so all I can tell you is that today we are expecting blue pen in the morning followed by a sweeping line of pink.
