OT—El nino is really pounding us here in the Pacific NW.

Normally, kids from here don’t even acknowledge rain. You point out that they’re being rained on and they look at you blankly.

My daughter took an umbrella to school today. Six kids asked to share it with her while waiting for the bus.

(The geniuses who designed the school made the bus lanes long enough for about a third of the buses, so my daughter gets home from a school I can drive to in 5 minutes half an hour after school ends.)
