| I've been thinking positive, but...
After visiting North GA in spring for the past two years, my reply to the local bitchin' about our rain was "I'll take the rain over a drought," but with today through Sunday off from work, and rain in the forecast, enough is enough!!!
There, my turn to complain. |

| It's rained here every day this week!!! Not s'posed to quit 'til late today or early Saturday. Locally, not a lot of rain... just enough to curb most outdoor activities. Somewhat of a constant heavy mist most of the time with a few brief downpours interspersed for good measure. We needed the rain, but this is really depressing.

My brother's been pleading with me to make the rain stop. 
I don't like rain much, either. Slightly hydrophobic, I am. (This has to do with a medical issue I had in my youth. Perhaps I ought to mention, too, that hydrophobia is also one of the first symptoms of rabies.)

but its much harder to flood a suv
if they took my car they would have floated home...real gas saver i hear

I'm glad all that rain is finally out of the picture! Rain usually doesn't bother me, I just tell myself better rain than snow, but that was seriously starting to depress me. 
Welcome, Summer! |

The sun has returned, and so I'm a happy boy
Putting two layers of fertilizer on the lawn in Spring to beef it up for an outdoor baby shower has created a green jungle, but I'm not complaining. |

I lived in the Sonoran Desert for a few years. Boy did I miss the rain! When it rains it is like a joyful holiday there, rain is so very welcome!
I feel for you guys getting a months worth of cold and non stop precipitation, but I know what it is like with a draut and I'll take rain first. Last summer we were in a draut here and our drinking water tasted like mold and mildew, it was hideous! Folks here were getting really nervous about the lack of rain.
I don't know what they are going to do in GA. I know they tried annex/stealing some border land to get at the water supply and a battle of two states ensued.
GA is definitely NOT a place I want to live, neither is FLA. I'd go back to Tucson if I could find steady work there, though, but that is not likely.
I am thankful that it didn't rain every day during my trip up there which just ended. Sunday was nice at the beach in R.I.
