Having lived in New Zealand for so many years, I have grown accustomed to rainy day driving. It rains most every other day over there, so if you can't drive in the rain, you just can't drive. Rockhampton is not so!
I am not certain that any inhabitant of Rockhampton (especially if they have been here for more than ten years), has ever really contemplated the difference in vehicle handling that becomes apparent when the roads have slicked up! Really- I have almost decided to start a company- L2DITR2D (Learn 2 Drive In The Rain 2day). i think I could make a killer profit- except that Rockhamptonians are under the impression that they are fantastic drivers, which they would be, IF THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE ROAD COMPLEELY BY THEMSELVES!!!!
Anyway, now that I have ranted about terrible drivers, I will share some more spectacular news. The family of six in which I now reside, will immenently become a family of seven. Without a doubt, this is a wonderful thing, and I am very excited about having a new life within my clan!
As I write this, an electrical storm is blowing in. Thankfully I have a mostly indoor job these days, and the rain does not affect my ability to work. However, rainy weather does seem to cause people to think less about buying solar products- roll on the sunshine!!
