The weather forecast on the web indicated light rain for today. That clearly
seemed to be a mistake, since the forecasts have been nothing but sun, sun,
and more sun, with the temperatures hardly varying. But early in the morning
there was a mist that you could almost call rain, and it was enough to create
some beautiful rainbows. In the afternoon, Nancy and I went for a walk to a friend's
house, and it began to mist again, but then turned into a full fledged
downpour. Shades of Oregon! We had to take cover on someone's porch while
the sky really opened up for at least 15 minutes. People were getting soaked
and seemed very happy about it. There is no real drainage system on the
streets, so large deep puddles formed everywhere and lasted through the
next day. The rain was very welcome as it seemed to wash the air and also
washed the layer of dust off of the trees and shrubs.
