Weather

Rain, rain, go away!! Actually, after the weekend of 100 degree temps, I am not entirely upset to see the rain. But I would be a lot happier if it was only a one day event! Anyhow, tonight has been quite rainy and apparently the weather will be quite stormy tonight into tomorrow. So what's my point? I ran up to Fred Meyers tonight to just pick up a few groceries and my particular Fred Meyers is going to undergo a remodel very soon. But before that remodel starts, they decided to repave the upstairs parking lot. Well, after today's rain it will be interesting to see what they do because all over the grocery section of the store were buckets and buckets and buckets....catching the raindrops coming from the cracks in the ceiling. The ceiling were the parking lot is right above it. I suspect Fred Meyers ran out of their own buckets because they were using merchandise plastic tubs and styrofoam coolers to catch the perpetual drops! It's a good thing the store wasn't particularly crowded since maneuvering a shopping cart around all of the buckets/coolers was challenging! (thank goodness my kids were at home with daddy!!) After awhile, I felt slightly uneasy and decided to end my grocery trip... I'm sure the ceiling was fine but I sure wasn't about to find out the hard way!! ;)
