Monsoon Season - 2008!
Monday, July 14, 2008 | 7:22It’s officially started!! Monsoon Season is here for the next few weeks and it has started with a bang. Yesterday we had a crap load of rain fall over an hours time. Some areas of Phoenix received over an inch and a half of rain. That may not sound like much to some of you but you must remember we live in a desert. Below is a photo I took outside of my window. Normally you can see houses across the way, not today! Also, the YouTube video below is the sound of the rain on my window. We never have a monsoon rain without wind. Good times!





I wake up with a stuffed up nose and I go to bed with a stuffed up nose. I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I love the weather, it’s perfect. It’s the reason I love living here in Phoenix. On the other hand, this is the time when ever plant in the region is blooming. The air is full of pollen and it really wreaks havoc with my nose! Allergies suck and I hate them. At least we’ll only have a few more weeks of this… but by then it’ll be too hot to have my windows open and it won’t really matter that all the pollen is gone. Sometimes you just can’t win!
Back to baseball… Every weekend in March I have tickets to spring training games around the Valley with [Mike]. This will help me to get ready for the upcoming D-backs season. I will not be getting any sort of season ticket package to the Arizona Diamondbacks but I do plan on attending more games. My goal is to go to Opening Day this year against the LA Dodgers. This is the 10 Year Anniversary of the AZ Diamondbacks franchise and to celebrate they are getting a brand new video scoreboard. This thing will be HUGE and will be the largest in the majors. I’m kind of excited to see it (read: “nerd”).
