-Matt, Ha! Just watch, when I come down to visit in two weeks it’ll be cloudy and rainy. I always seem to bring the crap weather when I come down. I’m so glad you went there with the Terminator joke, someone should always go there when discussing the governor of California.

It’s TOO sunny here… take some of ours! My Irish skin hates it!

/Our budget is just as bad. Swartz wants to sell everything not nailed down, and fire the rest. That, and FIND SARAH CONNER!

-April, Hydroplaning is terrifying, you kind of hold your breath for a second and everything moves really slow. It’s so frustrating to only be able to go 25 mph on a highway though! Oh my goodness, we did have snow here last month and it was hailing yesterday. It’s enough to make a person want to move to Arizona!

God I hate driving in a monsoon. I tend to hydroplane, which should totally be terrifying enough the first time it happens to make me drive like an eighty-year old on muscle relaxants for the rest of my life. But no. I hydroplane at least once a year. There’s really nothing like flying across the road sideways to really get the blood pumping.

I’m in NH and REALLY lucky to be having sinfully delicious summer weather right now. But it’s NH, so now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag, it will probably start to snow in the next 15 minutes.

-Blanche, I think this might possibly be the absolute sweetest comment ever, it WAS a can of sunshine! I’m so glad I can keep you on the cutting-edge of coolness. What’s funny is those were both featured on Things That Do Not Suck Thursdays :) Ahh brownies, how did women ever cope before they were readily available? Probably opium.

-Belly Girl, Seriously? Wow, that’s crazy enough it just might work! I’ll have to try it and let you know, how cool would I look cruising down the road wearing sunglasses during a monsoon?

I read the most random tip the other day about driving in crazy pouring torrential rain: put your sunglasses on. Apparently you can’t really see the rain when they are on, just the road. We don’t get too much insane rain in Colorado, so I haven’t been able to test it out, but let me know how it goes! :)

Here’s some sunshine in a can…

Three ways Erika has changed my life:
1. Brownies. Many Brownies. (Why do I keep typing brownie as browning?)
2. Franz Ferdinand. The local semi-indie radio station I listen to in the car played one of their songs yesterday as I was driving home. And I actually had heard of them, which made me feel oh so hip and with it, thanks to Erika.
3. That awful family picture website. The Today Show popped up a preview on a later (i.e. after I leave for work) featuring said internet sensation. And again thanks to Erika, I felt special for having known about it before it was promoted on mass media.

Not as good as the real schwartz, but better than powdered and reconstituted schwartz.
