I remember when fireworks were outlawed on July 4th.
Thats almost the norm around here.



Along the front range we have been in a drought for as long as I can remember.

It's funny, after so long, you'd think that they'd concede to calling this rainfall pattern 'normal' and then when it rains call it really friggin wet. For some reason people around here have a hard time accepting that they live in a high altitude desert!

Yay, finally started raining about half an hour ago, just a little rain, so I atleast don't have to swim from the car to the front door................... yet.





Cause everyone knows, its alot of fun to get off of work, go home, get ready to get out the car, and you end up standing in a good foot to foot and a half of water

yeah i've noticed it's not even really isolated storms, it's more like huge powder kegs floating around in the sky. You could barely see where your driving, then 5 seconds later it's too hot and sunny to have your windows up.



some days you dodge them all togther, some days you swim home, but by 7 it's all clear anyways

You just get wet. Better than working outside when it's dry, and hot as hell. I've found myself wanting to go stand in the rain, so when it stops I won't feel as hot (short rains make it really muggy).
