I believe "pissing down rain" accurately describes the weather here this evening. Cathy's father quipped "I thought you guys lived in an arctic desert?" Well, yes, we do. But even deserts get rain. We just happen to be getting a lot of it this evening. Along with high winds.
I haven't even bothered to look to see how our satellite TV is holding up under this onslaught. I've no doubt it's not working. Which is why we have DVD players. I've been introducing the in-laws to the joys of "The Closer" and they've become deeply smitten with Brenda Lee. And really, how could you not love Brenda Lee? It's honestly one of those great little shows that I don't understand why more people aren't watching. Although it does remind me I have to look for Season 5 when we're in Ottawa in 10 days time.
I guess can't complain about the pouring rain too much. Our satellite internet is holding up quite well, under the circumstances. It didn't happen yesterday, when it would have deeply screwed-up the community clean-up, or even this morning during our yard sale adventures. The latest haul? An IKEA floor lamp for $20, a ladder for $10, some bread pans for $1 and some flour.
However, the one downside to the rain is that it is deeply freaking out the dog. Boo has these little psychotic breaks from doggie reality every now and then. Normally it's a strange noise of some sort. He's heard rain beating off the side of the house before, so I don't know why it's triggering him this evening, but it is. He spent about 30 minutes panting and shivering. Then he went into the bathroom, which is the quietest room in the house. So he's curled up on a rug in there and isn't coming out for love nor money. But at least he's stopped shivering.
There's more rain forecast for tomorrow. I'm assuming he's going to come out of the bathroom at some point, but we shall see.

Yeah, it's pouring here, too. Just in time for the Mini World Cup! Michael is filthy.
Flour? You bought flour at a yard sale? LOL!
Oooooooo good luck with the rain. That would be quite miserable!
