i had a love affair with the rain. it began when i moved back to memphis after a stretch in emeryville.
i missed the vicious thunderstroms from my youth that sent off sirens and my dads heart rate. he'd pile us kids into the hallway with lots of pillows.
i do enjoy things that are dangerous and powerful. ive seen thunderstorms in memphis uproot 200 year old trees, knock out power all over the city and blow the roof off a mall, yet they dont scare me.
i dont love the rain as of late, likely because im driving in it once again. i love to dance in the rain but i hate commuting in the shit.
