Ramblings of a Dutchy in California

In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.

Rain!

On may way into work, NPR told me about a historic event today in San Francisco.

For the first time in recorded history it has rained on July 18. How fabulous. I move from Holland to escape the Dutch weather, and it follows me here! It is even causing power outages in the East Bay (Berkeley, Oakland.)
One day of rain in the summer isn't nearly as bad as back home though. They had the wettest month of June in a long time, I heard, and July isn't all that much better. The last rain we had here was probably late April. (And a sprinkle today, no power outage yet in my area.)
