Not much of a dream last night either, due to, heh, Mythbusters again. It was the Macgyver special! Which in my opinion was way better than the James Bond specials, because they didn't even get to use real movie clips for those, only animated story boards. Plus, Macgyver "myths" are true with surprising frequency, and I always enjoy when stuff is confirmed.

It's back to rainy in The Great Domesticated Desert of Doom^TM, which is interesting. Actually, it's a very good thing we're having all this rain because our snowpack was bad last year. Basically, for all you non-GDDoD dwellers, a low snowpack means a drought. Now, I know I've got readers that live where "drought" is unheard of, so I'll try to define it the best I can. A "drought" is where all throughout the summer, us GDDoD dwellers are FORCED to listen to snooty public service announcements on the radio about how "you can be a water HERO!" and other obvious/trite/irritating/repetitive drivel about how "climate change will increase the frequency of years like this one" and thus we must conserve water, which we all already do basically before we can walk here. Yeah. So of course, now fast-forwarding to this year, climate change is apparently very fickle, because this is literally the rainiest year in... some long interval of time that I'm currently forgetting. Thirty years? Not sure on that figure, but it's in the range.

Oh, and another thing that "drought" means here in GDDoD is less car accidents. Yes, we're so unused to the concept of water falling from the sky (and such *ahem* enthusiastic drivers to begin with) that the first rain of the season inevitably cripples commute for a couple weeks, until everyone is used to the new weather phenomenon, at which time the rainy season is pretty much over.

Conversely speaking, of course, the East Coast has "enthusiastic" pedestrians (read: jaywalkers), who aren't really affected by rain, being as they do not possess rapidly spinning rubber tires. Which is good, since I gather it rains year round (!) on that end of the country.

Reality check. Especially if it's raining.
