Rain, Rain, And More Rain

I understand the usefulness of rain and how it keeps life going and what not. Maybe it's my jaded side that comes out from living here so damn long. When it rains all I want to do is move sooner than later. I'm sure I'd miss after some time, but I'll never know if I don't leave. Because of the rain, I've seen major flooding a couple years back to back, and that is just my surroundings. The plus side is that the state is very green (west side of the mountains for the most part). I do enjoy the beauty of our state. I'd give it all up for some warmer weather year round. I think I'm becoming one of those old people, lol.
