Actually, I like the rain, but today a sudden and pretty intense cloudburst in San Francisco led to scenes like this and, from a subway station, this. The only downside was that this happened shortly before rush hour and the flooding subway station meant there were no trains.

Of course, this also meant that the buses were impossibly packed and cabs could not be had for love or money. I actually had a cab lined up but for some reason, the cabbie decided he didn't like me and YELLED AT ME when I tried to wave him down. He was such a *** about it that I honestly came really close to breaking his passenger side window. Oh well, at least I got my cardio in in the form of a brisk power walk 2.8 miles home in a light rain.

This post was mainly intended to share the cool videos above, not to grouse, but as I type this, I'm apparently still angry about the cabbie (who refused me, apparently went around the block and refused me when I flagged him again, not realizing until he got closer that it was the same guy).
