Rain, Finally

It is raining. I know that's hardly a newsflash, but in the two months I've lived here, I'd yet to see a raindrop until today.

The sky grayed, a few warning drops fell, then the pouring began. I'm amazed. I even heard thunder.

One woman sitting outside made me realize how spoiled people are by the sun here: "Oh my God, is it raining?" This while it's pouring right in front of her. "I can't believe it's raining. That's so weird." Then she called someone on her cell, probably to ask if it's really raining.

Yes, lady, it is, indeed, raining. The sky's finally broken.
