Travels with my Nephew's Aunt (to the Breeders Variety Showcase)

摘要

April Fool's Day this year had a new meaning for me and my nephew's aunt (my wife!). We left Ontario on March 31, on a sunny day and a temperature of 18°C, to arrive in "sunny" California and a temperature of barely 10°C and rain. The rain didn't last for one day, but for the entire 10 days. As we learned later, this was a record year for rain. By the time we left California, they had had 32 days of nearly continuous rain. I've often seen individuals play April Fool's jokes, which are usually onlyfunny for them, but never by Mother Nature. However, there is a first time for everything and what is more appropriate than for this rainy joke to come from "sunny" California.
