Rain, rain, rain. . .

Well last night it started raining HARD and has continued to do so all day. And consistent with Mexican engineering(at least in these parts anyway) water is building up everywhere. It is not odd to see 6 inches to a foot of standing/flowing water in some streets. I think they just don´t plan for drainage when they are doing these streets. Funny though you would think in a place that has a ¨rainy season¨ that, that would be one of the first things they would plan for. My brother in law said that in Guadalajara that they have as much as 3 foot of water in places when rainy season comes. And this is in places people are living. WOW! But the plants sure love it. I now have sunflowers that are easily 9 feet tall. I don`t see many sunflowers down here so it is an oddity and I get many questions about them.

Todays words of wisdom;
Two Scottish nuns have just arrived in USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs."
"Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we must be doin' as the Americans do."
Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please", says one.
The vendor, only too pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs".
The mother superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and, then staring at it for a moment, leans to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "An' what part did you get?"
