To that guy who ignored the flood warning and tried to drive through the rain wash anyways. It's impressive that you have a sports car and all, but seriously, you look stupid sitting on the hood waiting for the tow truck to come. There was an ole lady in a Buick who was smart enough to turn around and go the other way rather than try to cross, and she could barely see where she was going. Serves you right dumb-ass!
To that other guy on Scottsdale Road that was riding a bike. The rain comes up almost over your tires and the wind is blowing you sideways. One more inch and your bike will float way. What is so important? Are you going to the Starbuck’s to have a cup of hot chocolate? Moron.
To that tourist wearing daisy duke shorts. It is 20 degrees outside and the wind is blowing rain up your ass. Yes, you are visiting a desert, but you look really stupid right about now. Wear a one-size-fits-all rain tarp and Ugg boots like the rest of us. Pathetic.
To that chick with the bouffant up-do paying to park. Like the meter maid is going to get out of her golf cart with the rain pouring down to see whose meter is expired and leave a ticket on the windshield. Duh.
To that housewife walking to her mail box wearing her robe and flip-flops. OK, so you are friend to mother earth and your robe is made out of purely organic cotton, but those flip-flops are not made for wading through puddles. Shoes. Now.
To that barefoot couple kissing in the rain. Priceless.

Mentioning the word rain to a Brit is like taking coals to Newcastle...
There is a middle-aged woman (thinking of your waterlogged housewife here) who lives in the apartments I deliver. She obviously sits there watching for my truck, because I can't even get in the door most days, but that she is already standing there by the mailboxes in her nightgown. (except in the dead of winter, she puts on a bathrobe. yay winter!) Every single day. She drives me nervous, standing there hovering while i am trying to work. Perhaps Goddess will send a (indoor) flood to carry her away. Or a giant apartment-nesting condor will feed this dizzy woman to her chicks. ANYthing to make her go awayyyyy.
Love is Grand.
Jinksy, Sorry, but pretty much all you're going to get from me is something in the pointless spectrum or maybe something entirely made up.
Fireblossom, That is creepy. I think the nightgown police should take her to the hooskow. (Oh, come on spellchecker, hooskow is too a real word.)
Imac, Yes, love is like a grand hotel lobby with slippery marble floors.
I love how completely yucky rain can be and yet it has those perfect romantic moments thrown in.
Doesn't ever neighborhood have one of those eccentric pajama wearing ladies? Ours walks her dog in her pj's. She thinks because it's early she's invisible or something.
Same thing here when it snows. Go figure! Although I haven't seen anyone run out in the snow barefoot to smooch.
Never underestimate the arrant stupidity of people!.
Still the final pic is delightful!
Talon: I think I am that neighborhood woman since I wear my PJs to take out the garbage. I look around the tree and the saguaro and I 'think' no one is watching. Maybe I'd better think again.
RK: It's f'ing snow people!
Jams, I built the post around the photo. We have had record rain and snow fall in Arizona this year - 90 inches of snow up north.
Rain in AZ is spectacular, much better than anywhere else.
Oh yeah, that last is priceless!
They have rain in Arizona?? Wow, this is an educational blog too!
Hmmn, Jazz says to too.
i so afrayed of rane and fluds. i iz onlyy 2 inchers tal and mite get woshed away.
So you didn't like my daisy duke shorts then??
Not sure what the hell they are but still.
I have a Wrangler jeep and love finding the biggest pools of water I can find and driving through them when all the posers in their low sports cars get stuck. My partner being one of them.
Yup. That is a seriously sexy couple there. Rain will make good-looking people look better, and it doesn't do any favors for me :-)
The line about the wind blowing up her ass cracked me up!
I think rain makes people crazy everywhere. And last week they predicted snow. Everyone was a lunatic.
