It's been about eleven months since we last saw significant rainfall in Los Angeles, so today - which might have been rather like an English early November in terms of climate - was actually a wonderful treat. Apart from the roads, that is - Angelenos tend to behave as though they've never seen wet roads before, and panic (and the roads are greasy after all this dry time, and the moisture and old oil work to make the road markings barely legible). On campus, though, the grass turned a bright green, and the tree trunks outside Taper Hall developed extraordinary textured patches of cracking grey bark and deep rusty colored bark.
