It never rains in California

IT POURS!!!! Man, it pours......Wednesday it rained all day!  The tourists were in the Market for HOURS trying to stay dry.  Tourists do not like the rain (amongst other things, I am finding out), so not only was it extremely busy at the Market, but it was full of crabby people!
Later that night, after eating/brushing teeth/reading, I got up to use the restroom, which means get dressed and walk 1/2 a block.  It was about 1am by then.  It was sprinkling a bit.  I got back into bed, pulled the covers over my head and BOOM BOOM BOOM THUNDER!! followed immediately by lightning  Then the rain started.  For about 45 minutes we had thunder and lightning with the HEAVIEST rainfall I have felt in almost 10 years!!  Yes it rains a lot in Seattle, but there is nothing like a California Downpour!!  Have I mentioned that I live in a canvas tent??  Yeah, it was SOOOO loud in there, and those that know me know that I have sensitive ears!!   I had to wear earplugs just to get back to sleep.  It was awesome!!  and it was the best nights sleep I have gotten in three weeks.....
Now, about last night....has anyone ever smelled a skunk for hours and hours and hours.....lol
