I can't stand the all day drizzle, noone in Texas seems to know how to drive in it. Although I love the loud bombastic thunderstorms, something really neato about them. I used to sit on our big porch in Sugar Land, TX when I was a kid and watch the rain, and when it wasn't so bad, play in it, and build miniature street dams. Prolly why I like the hard rains best...

I think rain's a great environment to clear your head and enjoy being alive, especially if you live out in rural areas and you've got a bike. Nobody around and nothing but the sound of your tires meeting the wet road, the cranks gliding along, and the wetness hitting your face. Awwwwww yeah. :)

I like rain too, but not when its REALLY heavy. Its relaxing...dunno why. Snow, on theother hand, is a different story.

LOL.....kids outside watching the grass grow.....dad inside watching the doppler radar on the internet.....life in Texas is exciting, eh? :p

At least you guys have good salsa :D Mmmmmmm

I love the rain. Which is a good thing because I live in Eugene, OR which is in the middle of a fricking rain forest :).

I wouldn't want it to rain ALL the time, but I generally enjoy it when it rains. Cleans the air and keeps things cool. I don't like it when it is too hot.

"I'm only happy when it rains"

One of my favorite songs by the band Garbage. Can't believe no one mentioned it yet.

I love the rain! I like powersliding in the rain more :)
