I Wish May Wasn't So Needy.

Seriously.

Parts of the state are experiencing rather heavy flooding already. We had a wet winter, and a wet fall before that. I'm rather tired of the rain. April should come up with a better way to bring May flowers.

I want to try not to post about meteorological phenomena more that once a week, but it's really getting to me. I mentioned how positively sunshine affects my moods. Rain just pisses me off. I don't think I believe in a nice, refreshing rain. Showers are refreshing--I control the temperature. Rain is a discomfort. I don't choose to get wet, it just happens to me.

And, most likely, the sun isn't shining if it's raining. Especially if it's been raining for two days.

The farmers can't claim we need the moisture. I'm sure that some crops are starting to get into trouble with flooding.

And, as previously mentioned, my method of transportation is riding my bike. So I have to cross streets with grumpy motorists. I think we have a way of forgetting that other drivers are real people--this goes double for pedestrians and cyclists that may slow things down on the road. So, I get wet and grumpy, and I get to deal with grumpy motorists--who aren't even wet, and will get to their destinations way before I get to mine.

I think rain is designed to set up murders.
