Rain???

So, I got up this morning at an unreasonably early hour that I won't post here. Hit snooze a few times but eventually dragged myself out of bed in order to try and get down to Venice to skateboard before traffic hit. Got myself all ready, grabbed my board and headed out the door...and it was raining. In July. In southern California. Unreal. I think that's happened maybe twice since I've lived here. I went ahead and got in my car, hoping that if I started my drive I'd find it was confined to this small area. I realized quickly that it was not letting up and that in fact traffic was already bad (everybody knows southern californians can't drive in the rain...) So no skateboarding for me until next Saturday. I think I've decided bringing the board on the cruise may not be worth it. :-)
