7/16/07

* The strangest thing happened on the drive home from work! These small, round dots fell on my windshield. They would splatter and run up the glass like little beads as if they were -- dare I say -- wet or something. I even used the wipers ...once. Cars were stopped alongside the road. (I like to think they were so overwhelmed by the "deluge" that they had to pull off the highway.)
* Rain also smells different in Arizona. But after more than six weeks without a sprinkle, I suppose it's possible for an Illinois girl to forget.
* Matchbox cars first were created to give the developer's daughter an alternative to taking spiders to school in matchbooks. He gave her a tiny steamroller.
* Jim Dale, the man who reads the Harry Potter books on tape has finished recording the last book, after signing a contract to keep his mouth shut about the ending. He also holds a world record for most voices for said recordings ...something like 200.

Rain does smell different depending on where you're at. Cleaner in some places, dirtier in others.
