Rain rain, go away, and die.

Ahhhh mother nature. She is a cruel bitch, no? I don't know how all of you feel, but raining, isn't horrible. It can actually be very peaceful. When you are home, and you can open a window and enjoy the sounds, very nice. But this crap we have been getting lately, is crap. Its like that mist stuff, where there's no sound, but everything is wet. So there's no enjoyment, just gross, wet, non thunder, non anything crap.
Again, i work outside, and this weather has a two pronged attack on me. First off, I don't feel the "rain" with all the damn layers I'm wearing. So I'll go to get something from my pocket, and realize my jacket is soaked. Yea, that's awesome. People never think that a guy with a beanie over his eyes, and soaking wet, isn't crazy. Trust me, I've gone into a bank looking like this. You don't get stares, you get tellers reaching for their emergency buttons. I digress. The second attack is if you are under some sort of cover, you don't know its raining, and then when you walk out from underneath your covering, all your shit is soaking wet. Let me tell you, saws do not like water, one bit.
And of course, of cooooooourse since I live in the Northern Virginia area, rain coming down, in any capacity, means speed limits must decrease by 20mph. Is it that all the stupid drivers come out, or is it that everyone thinks if its raining, you will crash. I have news for anyone driving 35mph, in a 50mph zone; I'm going to kill you. Seriously, because I'll probably be doing 50-60mph, and when I come up on you, you are going to cause an accident. Well then, just slow down Matthew, you might say, well then guess what, the guy behind me will slow, and the guy behind him,and so on and so forth. Presto! Now you have a good ol Nova cluster F of traffic, because everyone has accommodated the A-hole who thinks tires don't work under such stressful situations, as a quarter inch of rain over a 24 hour period. For love of god people, of you feel it necessary, to drive that slow, that's fine, I understand, but stay out of the left lane. There are signs on some highways that state "slower traffic, keep right". Just go ahead and implant that in to your brain for everyday driving. Leave the left lane open for us drivers who believe tires ave been tested as to not completely fail under "wet" conditions.
I know this is not just a Nova thing either. It just amazes me how people don't understand that by them driving "safer" its only for their well being, and puts most of us in danger. I guess nothing will ever change that, but maybe, just maybe if someone who is a "slower" driver in the the Nova area reads this, they will remember, stick to the right, you are less dangerous there. And hey, did it ever escalate more involving lower yards? No clue? Me neither, but that just made someones day. I had such a crush on her. Until I met you Lois. You're my silver medal
