Seems it never rains in Southern California

Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But girl, don't they warn ya

It pours man it pours.

I had a few hours before my meeting started so I decided to walk down to a nearby mall (Westfield). I had thought about doing it yesterday but it was late afternoon, I was tired and jet lag was closing in. So I went this morning . Not half way there and the sky just opened up. Big cold drops of freezing rain poured down on me, soaking my coat and making me look like a poor stray cat.

I went to the store to pick up water, and snacks, and such. The hotel is a desert with no oasis but room service. No ice bucket, no ice machine, no soda machines. Last night a hamburger, fries, and a soda cost $40. I thought $3 water at the airport was bad. Here its $4 a bottle (and its a smaller bottle too). They always put these meetings in hotels where you stranded from any reasonable food.
