Today was a day like any other. I told the people I love how much they mean to me and more
importantly, I told them that I'm really happy with my life. The clouds showed
up today and it started to rain. I found myself barreling down the freeway in the
first serious thunderstorm in 6 months while light headed and blasting techno.
People in the desert drive funny when it rains. Some speed
up, some slow down, and some are so amazed at the miracle of rain that they
simply become dangerous. I once said that anything goes in the desert in the
rain. You could see a man wearing the most insane outfit on the planet, and on
any other day you would chalk it up to the propensity for homeless people to be
schizophrenic.
But in the desert, the rain gives license to act a fool and go unjudged. People see others acting crazy and rather than blame them they say, "I hate driving in the rain."
