rain.

alright, rain may be a good thing where I come from, but this is getting ridiculous. in hawaii it is not making corn and therefore whiskey, so no one's baby is getting frisky. instead we are all just getting wet and having no electricity.

the thing I love about rain in maryland is that there is an entire season for thunderstorms with beautiful lightning. from august to october you can expect anywhere from fog to downpours on a pretty daily basis.
in hawaii, between december and march you can expect extremely sporadic downpours all day every day. there is an extreme downside to this other than the obvious fact that this is supposed to be paradise. that downside is the additional fact that laie is completely ghetto.
to be more specific: power outages.

in maryland a storm only brings a power outage if it has been raining all day and there is tremendous thunder and lightning.
this past week it has rained at least once every single day here on our little island, and we hadn't had thunder or lightning until this evening. however, our power has gone out about six times in the past week. sometimes for ten minutes, sometimes all day. [as in today]

so while I don't mind rain all that much, it really sucks to have your power go out on a daily basis and to have to ride your bike to school in the rain.

rain, please go away.
