finally some sun

rained for about 14 hours, from around 2 am to around 4, then it lightened up and the walk home was almost pleasant. lots of drowned worms stretched out on the sidewalks. it struck me this morning as I ran across a couple of them, that they are called Regenwurm in German--Rainworms. And then I recalled that simply Wurm means Dragon... Which probably emphasizes its long snakelike form for the Germans rather than the more compact form we see in celtic or chinese art.

anyway there is rumor that we will see temperatures of close to 70 by the weekend.

and today wasnt so horrible after all, despite the awful beginning.
