Gonna be weather, whether or not

Posted on June 8, 2005 by Gene

Wash your car, and it’s certain to rain. Talk about sun, and the clouds will roll in.
Just yesterday I was complaining — as I am wont to do — about the constant cloudless blue sky and bright, bright sun here in San Jose, wistful for the changing weather back home, where I gather there have been exciting thunderstorms and whatnot. Every day, hot hot sun and no clouds. The recent winds have been nice here, a bit of a cooling influence.
Then this morning, a shocker: clouds! Big, thick, puffy, dark clouds floating over whatever valley it is that I live in — I have no clue what my neighborhood is called, perhaps someone more knowledgable than me can let me know what area Communications Hill is in — Almaden? Blossom Hill? I figure that I can tell people it’s “where 87 intersects with Capitol Expressway” and let them figure it out.
Anyway, cool temps and a dark day, with miniscule bouts of drizzle… unlike most people, this has served to bring me out of my depression a tiny bit, it’s a little reminder of home in the midst of sunny paradise.
