Okay YFF...here is a photoessay I produced just for you. No, there aren't any pictures of biting spiders, stinging plants, or swimming holes. No, it's just another gloomy, rainy day in San Jose. But I went outside. And I did this ALL for you. So bite my butt, ya drongo.

Wet wet wet...is it time to build an ark yet?

Nothing like a nice hot cuppa joe to warm the spirit on a gloomy day.

Do they serve hot chokkie at Starbucks?

Funny how large bodies of water don't bother people, but the small flying kind does. :rofl

Ah...the cable guy taking a smoke break. Sorry, but I'm a satellite guy.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

btw, I don't recall getting a hannukah card from you, hummy. :cry


Yup...definitely time to start building an ark.

Not a fun day to be an illegal alien construction worker.

Even the upper crust stayed home on this rainy day. Well hell...somebody's got to hang out by the fire, drink martinis, and count their money.

So THAT'S where Brown hangs out when he's not delivering camera and motorcycle goodies to me. Are you on a first name basis with your Brown man, hummer? I'll bet Andy is :rofl

One of the 3 or 4 umbrellas in the entire city (it doesn't rain here much).

Finally, a little rainbow emerging from the gloom.

The end. The sun has gone down and it's time to build a fire. Cheers mate.

    I did. But as I was getting into the truck, the sky opened up and it just
    dumped. No shooting for me. It was looking pretty promising this afternoon
    too.

    It's ok. Our new bosses are letting us out early tomorrow.

    And it was quite viewable -- I meant on my trip to photograph the antique gas pumps I kept looking for a rainbow and never did see one, so I'm glad someone saw one :-)
