people waiting for the bus
This is how my day started
It reminded me of the statue in fremont called ‘waiting for the interuban’

I am a northwesterner so of course a little rain didn’t scare me.  What scared me was saturday when it snowed.  It isn’t supposed to snow here, but this is the second time in as many years.  Sunday it slushed a bit then turned to big fat rain drops coupled with really windy conditions all during the day.

Monday morning was a continuation of the rain that had been coming down all night long.  I got out of my car figuring it would be a few minute wait for our bus.  I don’t use umbrellas like the rest of the suckers at the bus stop… but after waiting for the bus for about a half an hour I started to rethink that whole no umbrella idea.  My pants were all wet just from standing there.  And I made the mistake of trying to find out where the bus was on my blackberry which when I was using the phone it got some rain on it, more specifically water got into the trackball area (eek!)

I decided to go home and change so I wouldn’t be all soppy and sad when I got into work.

I tried to call in to work but my phone was all wonky, I got really worried that i had ruined my phone for good.  Doh! thats what I get for trying to use my phone in all situations.

Anyway, if you watched the news (those of you in other parts of the country) we may have made your areas news cast for flooding and the wonderfully windy conditions we have been having.

This morning  i drove to work and it was a totally different view.  As I drove down the highway there was a massive rainbow that was starting from capital hill.  Its definitely a good sign when you see a rainbow coming from where you work.
