Rain is great

It has been nice and rainy this winter in San Diego.
Since we are a costal desert we see very little rain.
I love sleeping in my warm bed on a rainy night and feel so safe.

I am glad that I put a row of bricks at the front of my apartment complex so that I don't need to soak my feet whenever a water puddle floods my walkway to my car.
Those bricks have been utilized more than I'd expected.

Today's photo is of a Totem village in Ketchikan, Alaska.
Alaska gets so much rain that they measure it in feet rather than inches.
Contrast that to San Diego where we measure rain by the 100th of an inch.
In fact, Ketchikan residents don't use wells or city water...they have sumps that
collect rain water and filter it for personal use. Amazing. Convenient.

Water is perhaps the most amazing substance I can think of.
It can be liquid or solid. It can cool or it can burn.
It is the first necessity of biological life on earth.
Water can be vaporized and then returns to it's liquid form automatically.
What a great idea. God, thank you for water.
