Cali apparently has a Monsoon season of 1 day

Ok, it has seemed like less people have been writing me fun comments since the amount of pictures that I post has dropped so in this post you will find a picture of me giving the big “Thumbs UP”. Not terribly exciting, but you really couldn’t see that right now unless you were in Cali (or unless you have a picture of me doing the same thing, but how likely is that!)

Yesterday Cali was invaded by the biggest rainstorm I’ve been through in a long time. It started while I was at school and just poured. I was on the teacher bus on the way home and I hopped off and ran across one intersection to go to the HomeCenter store to buy some pulleys. By the time I got there I was as wet as I would have been had I gone swimming and my shoulders started to get sore from having to carry the excess shirt weight. At HomeCenter is dripped down the pulleys and clamps aisle and bought about 10 small ones for a class group activity and 2 big ones. I’m going to try to rig up a pulley system with my hammock chair so the kids can pull themselves up in the air….. SO COOL!!!!! (actually it’s really just for me to have fun. Forget the kids).

I was taking a taxi home and we turned down a street that had particularly poor drainage. The water was so high that it started to come in the bottom of the taxi doors and slosh around on the floor. Good thing the cab was an old one.

Gotta run, here come the grade 8’s!!!!
