Rain and More Rain

The rain has followed me from Massachusetts. Rain in Houston is nothing to laugh about. I always enjoyed rainy days back home, but it is almost terrifying here. The roads flood within minutes and people begin pulling into parking lots and up onto traffic islands! I have not ever had a bad experience driving in the rain, but there's something about seeing that water rising that scares me. Mostly it just slows us down and snarls the traffic, something that Houston doesn't really need. Oh, well. It's still better than snow!
