~Day 247: Got my wish. Finally...

...but it wasn't what I thought it would be.  I got to drive in a monsoon storm. 

I walked out of work tonight (about 3 hours later than planned) and this is the site that greeted me.  It was a very hard downpour.

Of course, I had on flip-flops.  The only way to get to my car was to jump in the puddles.  I hope my shoes make it.

Normally I would be excited to drive in the rain.  This is the time I finally walked out of the office, which made it dark outside.  Driving in the rain when it is dark, watching it blow in a  horizontal direction and coming down pretty hard, was a little scary.  I could see the water blowing across the freeway and I could feel my tires slide a little.  And the HUGE lightening bolts were cool.  Needless to say, I was driving slowly and trying not to be nervous.  Wimp.  But I made it home safely, where there was not a drop of water to be seen.  Figures.
