It’s raining in Los Angeles
I didn’t realize it was raining until I heard the distinctive wet swoosh of a car racing by. I walked over and looked out my balcony’s glass door.
Sure enough, it was raining. Street lights and store signs gleamed off the wet payment. It was a light rain, but it was thorough.
I let the vertical blinds fall back together again and lit some candles. I turned on a small table lamp and plugged in the lights on our Christmas tree. The heat is on and the room is getting warmer with every hum. My feet feel good in my snug slippers.
President Bush declared a state of emergency in New Hampshire and Massachusetts because of severe ice storms. I can barely imagine that, ice storms. The local news here in L.A. make a big deal whenever we get rain. Ha. Right now there are about 800,000 homes in Massachusetts without electricity. Without lights, without heat. It gets very cold there during the winter. Miserable, one might say.
I’m glad to be here, in Hollywood, sitting in my warm apartment, listening to the sound of light rain bounce off my windows. These are our winter “storms” and we’ll soon return to 9 months of summer.
