I was surprised to wake up to the sound of "That can't be rain, can it?"

It could. It was. 4am on the 26th, it rained.
It didn't just sprinkle a tiny bit, but actually rained hard enough to clean off the leaves, moisten the concrete, and make the world look shiny and fresh outside.

I think that last year we had a little rain in January, but this could well be the last rain we see until next April.

Unfortunately, I had left a bunch of parts in the driveway because I'm a little lazy, in the middle of rebuilding my knuckles on the Cruiser, and didn't imagine it could rain overnight. So I got up out of bed, went out in the light rain, and covered/moved things so that the nice clean bearings wouldn't get soaked and rusty.

I'm awfully glad I did, as shortly after I did that is when the rain changed from very light mist to not-strong, but certainly "rain".
