I like the rain and all, way more than I do the sun anyway, but this storm just rebooted my computer twice. One more time and I'm giving up and playing resident evil or watching some crap movie. And if the power goes out then I'm going express my gratitude for an acoustic guitar.

I played in the rain yesterday. Slid around in the grass and stuff with a couple of people. It was fun. Until, I realized i didn't roll up my car windows and didn't have any dry clothes. I should plan for these random ass things.

Get a badass UPS and play Doom2 during a massive power outage. That's what I do. Chicks love it.

You should live around here. Every storm, no matter how small it is, causes the power to go out.
Even worse, the wiring is really old in the houses here so the circuit breakers are constantly going off if you use to many appliances at once. Make a slice of toast without remembering to turn off the air conditioner first, and you have to go out to the garage to flip the breaker back on.

I don't have a circuit breaker. I've got a fuse box and I can't even access it unless the people downstairs are home. I live in a duplex house. I lead my reign of terror on the top floor and the neurotic lady and her two bastard kids make too much noise down stairs. So if anything happens I've got to go through them.

The weather in the South (US) sux as well. It changes drastically day to day, and a lot of times hour to hour. But, the worst part about it is the heat and humidity. There's nothing like the temp being 102*F (heat index 115*F) with 90% humidity (that's what it was here Wednesday). You can't even take 2 steps outside without breaking a sweat.

I'm down in North Carolina, which really isn't that far south, but its pretty ****ing humid right now. Last night I left a matchbook outside for 20 minutes, and couldn't light a match because it was so soggy. Thats why I almost always have lighters.

[font=trebuchet ms]We've just come through the wettest month on record - nearly 250 mm of rain. The second-wetest was back in 1905. We've had three floods in as many weeks. Yesterday was the first sunny day I've seen in quite a while. It's overcast today, but it's not supposed to rain (I hope).[/font]

I love the rain. Rain causes a lower crime rate while summer causes the crime rate to go up. Plus rain makes everybody feel better whether they know it or not. When it rains it brings down all the particles and dust out of the air and makes people feel better. I’m singing in the rain. I’m singing in the rain....

You should try western Pennsylvania. I think, by law, we're entitled to two weeks of decent weather a year and we've already gone through both of them. We get enough rain to consider ourselves Seatle East only without the style, pinache, coffee houses or heroin addicts.

Hazy, hot and humid in the summer, brutally a** chapping cold, snow and ice in the winter. Why stay? Steeler football, Iron City beer and lots and lots of girls with high Steeler hair (blonde with black roots). Plus most of food here is fried up in butter and onions. What more do you need besides your guitar? :D

I love thunderstorms. I get this crazy energy flowing through my body, and the lightning.....love it. The best is watching lightening with 3-D glasses on. It is sooooo trippy. I don't know how it looks sober though, probably not as good.

Well in Missouri, we are having the worst drought since the 1950's. Our fields are dried up and our hay has gotten way too dry. A field has already caught fire in our area. Add to that the heat index has been 110 the past week. What I would do for a good thunderstorm right now....
The greatest enemy to what you can know, is what you already know.

It's not how good you play, its how well you play it.

We're all dried out here in Memphis too. It's been in the upper 90's everyday for like 6 weeks now with barely any rain during that time. I don't really mind it though. After freezing my ass off in North-Eastern Ohio for 23 years, it's a welcome change.

Here in Kenya, we're going through our "winter", when the temperatures fall to between 10 and 20 degrees Celcius. Then everyone is cursing just how bloody cold it is coz the temperature is 13 Celcius. You envy us, huh? :)
