We're getting into "monsoon season," which means that it threatens to rain every afternoon. (Santa Fe averages 6.6 inches of rain in July and August combined. During it's "rainy season," Seattle gets six inches in November alone.) I wonder how long we can keep making Peter Grimes jokes: "Look, the storm cone!"
