The Rain in the Central Valley

Well and here I thought it honestly couldn't get any wetter this week and boy was I wrong (big time). I wake up this morning and it is pouring rain BIG TIME, and it's to the point that within minutes of stepping out of the Mission where I happen to live, my pants are soaked through just about completely (my wallet got slightly hit too which didn't help things at all).
 
Then as I'm making my way over to the library I heard on the radio (http://www.myalice967.com/) that there's a severe weather alert for the Central Valley till 11a (though that might've changed since I had last heard), though so far there has been no warning like there was two days ago about severe thunder storms and quarter size hail in Central Fresno County (I was over at the Manchester Center area of town just about to go into my bank Chase (https://www.chase.com/) when the alert came in over the radio (I had switched to that from my MP3 player since I had been wanting to hear something other than the music that I had been listening to and I happen to love the radio big time since you can hear new artist that way, though I'll get into that at a later time). Of course what didn't help was when I stepped out of the bank, the rain was starting to come down again, only this time it went worse than when I had been downtown at the time. Of course as I had walked up to that bank, there wasn't any rain at all, and then there was at that point and by the time that I had gotten to the Dollar Tree (http://www.dollartree.com/) it was cleared up, though from the bank to the store, one would've thought that there was just a wall of rain water, it was that bad (plus what didn't help is that they hadn't gotten any umbrellas in their last shipment so I had (and still don't have) nothing to protect myself from the rain with).
 
However both days, today and two days ago, it was my socks in my shoes that were the worst off of everything. I have a slit hole in the sole of my left shoe (along with the various holes above the soles), and when it rains the water gets right in there and my socks just die from that. Right now I'm wearing two plastic bags over both of my socks inside my shoes to prevent the rain water from getting to the socks again, though I don't think that it actually worked for my left foot at all where the slit in the sole happens to be. So till the rain actually clears up, I'm seriously starting to wonder if I'm actually ever going to get a break from any of this at all, after all a few friends that I know including my wife Miramonte, they all know that I have the worst luck on the planet (and that's not only factual, it's been proven several times as well).
 
Well with all of this rain, I really only have one question left (which I've already asked of those on Facebook this morning), who ordered the heavy rain for the Central Valley with a side order of drowned rat :)
