Is it banal to talk about the weather? In general, yes. But there are exceptions. Today I am experiencing slow, steady rain. It hasn't rained in two months. Truly, slow rain is one of the finest things that Mother Nature has to offer.
So why is there so little praise of it? The answer probably is that 'the medium is the message.' Slow rain does not photograph well. Nor is it especially entertaining to the ears. So you can't put it on a vlog or social media. Nor does rain make for a snazzy television commercial.
To hell with electronic media and its distortions. Slow rain is wonderful.

It's about time.
It rained hard Monday evening, here in Amado. It was not soothing on the slide out roof, but unnerving. We received .69 inches of rain in just a few hours. It is raining again this evening (Tuesday), but not as heavily. Just like the weather we flee from, every winter, in Western Oregon!
But it is natural for a snowbird to think differently than a full time RVer.
