It just makes for cruddy days.. Especially sitting at work wishing I was at home in front of the fire.

Do the drivers down there do the same as they do here. We get rain, they drive slow as hell, we get ice/sleet, they decide to drive faster then they normally do, because the ice is not puddlying on the road.. LMAO...

drivers in Houston can't drive for **** in the rain either. Idiots never learned about hydroplaning, and how the tire contact patch is nearly gone above 50 mph.

I am stuck in my 10x10 ft cell (really my cubicle) but at least I have a window to look out at. But the weather is making me want to crawl under my desk and take a nap.
Now I know how my Jack Russell feels when he cant go outside and play ball, this blows.

I know what you mean, I was going to mess with my new camera, and oh well for that one. But I bet I could get some nice rainy shots....

I would be saying the same... But mine does not hydroplane anymore...

Since the addition of the Vredesstein Sessenta Tires.
There is no slipping and sliding. AND dam they stick..

I am not too worried about my driving anymore, its the other peeps...
and as for the driving fast.. I feel that its ok to drive a little under the speed limit.. Like lets say its raining normally.. if speed limit is 60, I drive 60..

If its torrential downpour, then in 60, I drive 55 ish... LOL...
and this always depends on how the car feels... Because some roads are bad.
And without rain they make me feel like I cant drive..

our dog is such a freaking pansy. (we live upstairs) He hates the rain, and I opened the door to let him out and check the weather out. He freaking goes out and pisses on the doormat, instead of getting out in the rain and taking a **** like any other dog.
