Inner Dialogue

Yeah, so when my friend Steve told me about the weather here, I didn't quite believe him. He said that a 30% chance of rain in Inyokern meant that it definitely would NOT be raining, but a 30% chance of rain in Chicago meant that was the percentage of the day it would be wet. So far, EVERY day it has rained. I am not talking about nice little rain showers. I'm talking storms where the thunder rolls, where the floodgates of heaven open up, where sheets of water cascade from the sky, and where there is absolutely NO chance of staying dry unless you are encased in plastic from head to toe. Did I bring a rain jacket. Of course not. But I do have that pink Navy pullover, a hat and a little umbrella. Emilee has her big jacket with hood so she's good to go. It rains for a time and then it stops and the sky turns blue again. Fickle weather they have here in the midwest. Here are the pictures I just took from my hotel window... just as we were about to walk out to the car (red one in the pics) and load our stuff. Ey yi yi!
