There are simple precautions you should take and then you just hope for the best.<BR/><BR/>>Dawnie: I wanted to paint a clear picture of what I automatically think of and remember of rain. I like the sound, especially if I am traveling. When its my own home however, I worry so much.<BR/><BR/>>Farhan: The idea that something heavy would fall from a light sky, would just amaze me.<BR/><BR/>>Sarah: OH NO! His car? He got it recently didn't he? I'm so sorry to hear that. Hydroplaning sucks. I did it once in the middle of the freeway. It was terribly frightening.<BR/><BR/>>Vivienne: Yes I DO remember that blog. The Lion King was that movie for me with my dad. I don't know how I would deal with so much rain. I guess I would get used to it but I like photography. It would start to get bland taking the same puddle pictures over and over.<BR/><BR/>>Ryan: I used to like to lay on the warm wet cement in the driveway of our home after a summer rain. Driving a bike would be a nightmare in those conditions! I always watch them carefully when I see them on the freeway and wish them well.HektikLyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865530974330320159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212720230352979793.post-17948888466671688412008-12-16T03:39:00.000-08:002008-12-16T03:39:00.000-08:00some of my greatest memories are in rain. long ag...some of my greatest memories are in rain. long ago, i ran through warm rain, barefoot, in a foreign land, with my brothers. we laughed and yelled.<BR/><BR/>warm rain is one of the most amazing experiences.<BR/><BR/>cold freezing rain on the other hand... not so fun. especially when riding a motorcycle.<BR/><BR/>~houtstmryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220407255009888811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212720230352979793.post-63643227187821669432008-12-16T02:00:00.000-08:002008-12-16T02:00:00.000-08:00Great post!

Well my childhood bedroom had a terrace which flooded in heavy rain (can be very very heavy rain in Tenerife and goes hand in hand with the electricity in town going down) and my parents had to go outside to get the water off the terrace. I remember asking my grandmother - are mum and dad going to die? - she just laughed as it was obviously idiotic but I didn't know better after watching that horrible movie. Top that off with the lights going out and I was mortified. I hated the rain.<BR/>Now I like in England I've kind of gotten used to it though as it rains 350 days a year...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212720230352979793.post-57633121448098413632008-12-15T18:30:00.000-08:002008-12-15T18:30:00.000-08:00The best smelling rain is in the desert where my G...The best smelling rain is in the desert where my Grandpa used to own a cabin, way east of Palmdale.<BR/>My brother James already hydroplaned just a few weeks ago in that first rain.

All roofs do eventually. <BR/><BR/>2) We should all drive careful. When it's time to go, we will go. Can't do anything about it. Enjoy your time here :) <BR/><BR/>3) Stay away from the SUVs<BR/><BR/>4) Dogs are meant to be outside. Even silly ones :) <BR/><BR/>5) She will be careful. ;) <BR/><BR/>6) Maybe this will teach him to save for a car? Or perhaps you can offer to buy him a really good rain coat? <BR/><BR/>7) If it's not the rain, it would be the grafiti or the fires. It's always something. If not, they will find a reason. <BR/><BR/>Smile. Your blog made me smile. I liked your childhood memories of the rain. <BR/><BR/>Captcha mingleIrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261438731826351759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212720230352979793.post-4749439811472589722008-12-15T14:29:00.000-08:002008-12-15T14:29:00.000-08:00I'm 62, have owned a number of homes, have had to ...I'm 62, have owned a number of homes, have had to drive in it among a number of people who didn't have a clue, yet I still like the rain.
