Today when I woke up I heard a familiar, calming sound that I've never heard since my arrival in San Francisco. It was the rain against my windows. At first I didn't really think about it because I was still tired and to me it is nothing special. But when I later talked to Branson students, many of them were super excited and totally overdressed for this light rain, I recalled that they were in a drought. Some wore raincoats, high boots and carried an umbrella, which sounds more like heavy storm equipment to me. It was funny to see how unusual rain was to them and how they reacted to it.
Today might've just been the first precursor to the feared and wished for rain season that is expected for late November. Wished for because water means life and feared becasue after this very long drought the ground is very weak, which could result in much destruction through mud slides. Also if too much rain comes we will see a next Atlantis. (LH)
