I have to admit I like rain. It's kind of rare around here. This is a dry area with brutal temperature extremes, season to season. So a non-destructive weather event is always welcome.
I like it that daylight hours are reducing again. In a month or two I'll probably notice it. The only tolerable season around here is Fall. Springtime is screwed up with dust storms. Winter is a killer. Summer is way too hot and very dry. There are only a few months out of the year in this area, when you aren't wishing you were someplace else. But, like I've said before, a low population density really helps to make life tolerable. Lubbock is nicely smeared out and it can expand without doing any violence to habitat because there's nothing but flat dirt in every direction for many miles. Miles and miles of cotton fields. If there ever was "habitat" the cotton farmers killed it long ago. How can you not feel good about a place whose most prominent feature is nothing?
