And The Rains Came

Josie went over to the office in the morning to advise Kathi, the park manager, about our plans to leave next week. She was disappointed but understood. We still plan to work our scheduled days this week so that she has some time to either get replacements or reschedule the existing staff to cover our time. We weren't working that many hours, so she should not have a problem.

We went to the Verizon Wireless store in Rancho Mirage to take Josie's phone in for repair. Her phone has been a problem since she got the replacement phone a couple months ago. For some reason, it doesn't want to charge a battery. Verizon keeps replacing the batteries - this is the third one - saying that the batteries are just bad. We'll see.

It was about 3 PM when the rain started coming down and it rained buckets. We ended the day with .85" of rain and except for a brief dry period this morning, we expect the rain to continue. Along with the rain, we have cool temperatures. The high yesterday was only 63, and it looks like more cool weather the next two days. The forecast is for rain through Thursday, so my outside park maintenance work will most likely be affected.

The rain came at a bad time locally. The Bob Hope Golf Classic began yesterday and I heard where they will have the tournament rain or shine - except if there is any lightening, of course. We are going to try and go to the Saturday round and watch the celebrities play with the Pros. When we spent a lot of time here in the '80's, we went to these tournaments all the time. Of course, Bob Hope was alive then as were many celebrities that are no longer here. It will be very different this time. Regardless, it's always a fun day. More tomorrow...
