I'll Take The Rain

One thing I miss about Seattle is all the rain or cloudy days even if it was kind of that annoying misty rain.  Here, when it does rain, it comes down in barrels and is usually accompanied with thunder and lightning storms so the rain here is way cooler, just doesn’t happen enough.

This year during our rainy season, we didn’t get much but lately?  It’s been raining on an almost daily basis with some wicked storms and I’ve been loving it.  Besides, we need that rain because without the rain, the Everglades water level gets low.  When the water level gets low, mud starts to show.  When mud starts to show, there’s a good chance boats will get stuck.  And if that all were to be a possibility, our tours during the winter would basically suck.  That’s not a good thing because the winter months is when all the blue hairs come down, tossing their money left and right....not going to be much of a good tipping season if there is no water to take them out to the actual glades.  The channels are fine but the birds are out in the glades and the blue hairs love their birds.

Been studying my birds in preparation for those blue hairs.  I want to impress the socks off of them and make even more tips.  So, this rain we are getting?  Maybe it means not many tours now, which is fine because it’s the slow season anyway, but it will mean more money later.

So bring on the rain.
