Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Funny Guardian story about what LA does when it rains.
ABC’s morning news show set the pace by announcing “team coverage” of the phenomenon of wet stuff falling on the ground. A man who had been caught in the rain gave an exclusive account of his experience as though he had survived an explosion. A delivery driver who had had to deliver cardboard boxes in Tarzana gave testimony. Cardboard boxes! Rain! Can you imagine?

STORM WATCH 20XX!!! Is something you’ll have to get used to around these parts. The best is when they gear up for “FULL TEAM COVERAGE OF THE LOOMING STORM” and then nothing happens or there’s a half hour of tinkling followed by clear blue skies.
