All aboard the pineapple express...


So we wanted rain, and we got some!  A system coming from Hawaii called the pineapple express paid us a visit. In fact we got 2 years worth of rain in one day!!   (To put this into context we only had 2 inches of rain in the whole of last year!)  Still it was quite heavy and of course California being California (ie not being able to cope with any kind of weather that isn't sunshine) went mental.  San Francisco closed it's schools for the day.  We were ordered to buy in supplies.  It was billed as the 'storm of the century'!




Really??  It's rain, yes it's heavy but it's going to last for ONE day.  Of course the bay area was like one big swimming pool as the drains here are not good.  But it really wasn't a storm, there was no wind, no thunder, no lightning, just rain folks.  In fact Ste had the quickest commute to work ever as everyone stayed at home. Californians really are a bunch of pansies.  These are funny though...
