Rain, rain
It hasn't rained much lately. That's a comparative statement, of course. It has probably rained more in the last month than it usually did all year in San Diego, but the plants are wilting a little. I hate to sound cheap, but I really don't want to water them too much because water is expensive here. I know I'm a hypocrite. I'll run BOINC on the computer 24/7 to benefit science but I'm stingy with water for the plants - and utilities are included in the rent.
Truth is I like the rain. I miss the seasons, too. Not San Diego's version of hot summer and cold summer ( here we have hot summer and warm summer). I miss the Midwest kind of seasons with a real spring, summer, fall and winter with SNOW. Besides, the rain is mostly unobtrusive here, blowing in for 5 or 10 minutes and then going away. It breaks up the monotony and keeps everything green.

After serious flooding that blocked traffic around the Washington DC beltway, and after spending almost a week without sun, I definitely no longer like rain!
Actually, on second thought, never liked rain to begin with.
I'm a sun person. The hotter and humider it is the better!

You'd like it here. We have both hot and humid in spades! I'm sure all that rain didn't slow down your contractors a bit, did it? :p
