Hey everyone, its monsoon season once again in northern New Mexico. Although it probably officially started sometime last week today was the first big one we saw here on the hill.
The office building I sit in has all the offices positioned on the interior of the building with the hallways and windows along the outside. Almost everyone came over to the windows to look at the massive amount of rain that was coming down outside, people were pushing like a moshers at a rock concert to get a look at the action. Just kidding about that last part, but seriously a lot of people came out of their office to come check out the rain.
While I was watching the raging rivers or rain water gush down the side walks below I thought to my self: “only in New Mexico.” Only in New Mexico has it been so long since the last time it rained that people get excited enough to stop work and come look out the window - smiling from ear to ear.
edit (4:30pm, jul 15, 05): Now its more like terential down-pour mixed with hail. Holly crap! and I just recieved this email:
Please note the following from Emergency Management and Response:
There is a severe weather alert out for Los Alamos County. Heavy rain, penny-size hail and 60-mile per hour winds are expected. Watch for localized flooding. And please exercise caution while traveling.

Watch for flooding, which is assuredly happening in grandpa's underdrawers.
