05/30/2003 Entry: "Rain in the desert"
Posted by Maynard @ 03:07 PM MST

Rain in the desert
There was a strange liquid falling from the Tucson sky yesterday afternoon. I think it is known as rain, but I'm not sure. I hardly ever see it. The last time it happened was back in mid-April, around tax time. George Bush just signed the tax cut bill a few days ago, so maybe that has something to do with it.
On a more serious note, this rain is really needed. As you can see from this graph, the Tucson area is at least an inch and a half behind the normal rainfall for the year. If monsoon season starts now (with 3 successive days of a certain humidity level), it will be a rough summer as far as comfort goes, but excellent if we get a lot of rain. It's clouding up right now, and I'm praying it will start dropping in buckets.
FLATEOTM coming later today.
