So it's gonna rain tomorrow. It happens. Even here in California. Believe it or not, every once in awhile it rains. In fact, a lot of times, it rains a lot.

Still, for whatever reason, whenever it rains, it's big news. The first five minutes of the local news began with stories about it raining. And not just "oh, it's gonna rain tomorrow" but stories about how people were gonna prepare for the rain. About how PG&E was getting ready. About how people were trying to hurry things up because it's gonna rain. And typically, we get the stories from around the Bay discussing how things were there with interviews of how people there were getting prepared. Tomorrow, we'll get about ten minutes of news about the rainstorm with stories from every town in the area letting us know how they somehow survived the first great storm of '02.

It's gonna rain, people. Rain. Not a hurricane, not a "storm," not even a "tempest." It's....just.... rain......
