Rained Out
I am so sick of rain. Don’t get me wrong, I know rain is necessary. Usually, I love a good summer soak. The air seems cleaner and everything is so nice and green. Of course, those summer soaks rarely lasted for a month. And I don’t think that when they decided to call this “green country” that they meant “rainforest or jungle” green.
And it is turning into a jungle out here. The insects are taking over. I know we are all aware of the mosquito problem. We’re all getting eaten alive everytime we step outside, day or night. With standing water everywhere, and the sporadic rainfall making spraying next to impossible, it’s a mosquito’s paradise.
I’ve also seen more and bigger waterbugs, roly poly bugs, cockroaches, and even some bugs I’ve never seen before in my life. They’re everywhere, and I’m just glad we had our house “weatherized” last year. Even with that, the little beasties still manage to sneak in every so often. Forget about any trip outdoors if you have issues with bugs, there is no escape. If I wanted to live like this, I’d move to an equatorial country.
So much for global warming being a myth.

By all means, ship some of that wet stuff out to us in L.A. - it hasn’t rained here in nearly 2 months!
In turn, we’ll FedEx you some 80 degree, cloudless sky days. Deal?

I would love to ship it out there. It’s just crazy that one part of the country is roasting while another part is drowning. Just part of the joys of climate change I guess.
