rain

The changing of seasons seems to inspire St. Louis to...rain. I think it rained every day for the first two weeks of June, and then approximately twice during the rest of the summer. Now it's been raining just about every other day for the last two weeks. The forecasts keep predicting large hail, which we (fortunately) have yet to see. We moved here last year right after a large hail storm and all the car dealerships were having "hail sales". Good if you want a new car for cheap and don't care if it's a little dinged, bad if you have a car and want it to stay in decent shape. At any rate there's another big storm headed our way this afternoon, but it's ok because all this rain is getting me prepared for a trip to a country with a reputation for all rain all the time: England. I've only ever been there in June/ July before, so it'll be interesting to see it this time of year. More on this later. The condo next door is still for sale, but the realtor's website doesn't seem to be working so no update there.
