Down here on the coast it's afternoon thunder storms. When my son was in Seattle, I pointed out that we get just as much rain as Seattle does. Ours comes in gushes instead of Seattle's stead drip. We'd sit offshore in clear blue skies fishing and watch it storming on the coast and wait until it was over to come back in.
How's the weather?

Monsoon in my house the other day.
Wet spot appeared in the ceiling after the hurricane, couldn't find the leak in the attic. Roof lost a lot of shingles but not where the wet spot was, should have been a clue. I don't normally go in that room so I didn't notice the wet spot was growing. Then the ceiling fell in.
Turns out it was a copper pipe that sprang a leak, the main line into the house from the pump house. Replaced it with PEX. All the copper plumbing is thin like a soda can, you can pinch it with your fingers and it deforms. Doesn't like the well water I guess. Need to re-pipe the whole house in PEX.
Oh yeah, the topic, weather. Yep rainy season here on the gulf coast too. Which means mosquito season. Every rain rehydrates a prehistoric evil which releases a cloud of its bloodhawk minions from the bowels of the earth to descend upon my lands and molest my people. It is maddening. I want to move. Where is a good place to live? Tennessee? West Virginia is beautiful, and affordable. Maybe when the kids graduate and I don't have to think about quality of education.

Why not Monterrey? (not Monterey) ...
... I think you'd be an excellent neighbor... OTH, maybe I'd be the troublesome one, and not you 
We've got those new Asian Tiger mosquitos here. They bite all year long, day and night.
And renounce my U.S. citizenship? I think I might want to hold onto that; you know, just in case.Why not Monterrey? (not Monterey) ...
If I would move there it would have to be unofficially. What kind of opportunities are there for illegals in Mexico?
We don't have those yet. There might not be room for them here. These huge assholes run the block. The most aggressive winged beast ever to live, I think.
Who is we?
Some people I know.
Oh. Thought maybe you were traveling.
It's on the agenda but not for this time of year. Some old buddies I served with at MOTU-13 SUBIC still live around there too. I loved living over there and might move back in retirement.
OMG .. you took that pic?
I wish. It was from a local group.
No. Well past my way already.
But our northern (actually ... southern) neighbors are in for a bad night.
