We're gonna have to change all the real estate listings from being Houses for sale to marketing them as HouseBoats.

I think it's time to hand out the "Whine Award" for the best whiner of the weather.
Be creative!

My Whines:

It's been raining so much that I'm getting repetitive stress injuries from emptying my rain gauge (11.1" in Salt River since May 10).

It's been raining so much that I may have to change my favorite fairweather expression to "This is one of the 350 340 best days of the year."

It's been raining so much that the RaptureMobile must've got stuck, because I'm still here!

This past year (may 2011 to may 2010) feels like we've had about 180 days of sunshine. Really really over it. Rather pay to fill up my cistern. Starting to feel more like I'm living in Washington state. Hearing from a lot of people I know that are getting flooded in their homes. Not really a funny situation to me.
