Rainy days

The only time Tucson really gets good rainfall is 3 weeks out of the year in July.  During these three weeks, the weather can falter between sunny and clear skies, to downpour that lasts off and on for hours at a time.  For a desert rat such as myself, this kind of habitual adjustment is very difficult.  In fact, if I can, I will avoid driving in the rain at all costs.  Despite the fact that I don't like being in the rain, rainy nights are the most beautiful moments, just listening to the drops on the roof and holding a warm cup of cocoa while watching the lightning flash across the sky.
