abq ppl call this time of year "monsoon season", which means most afternoons, the sky lets loose and dumps tons of water on the city for 30 minutes. if i were a monsoon, i'd be insulted that these intense but brief thunderstorms are called monsoons. it's nothing compared to days of nonstop rain in other parts of the world, but i guess if you live in the desert, any sustained rain feels like a monsoon. the happy part is, at least we have some moisture in the air now. in june, we were at 7% humidity. these days we get a whopping 29%. when it rains, it floods, and then we get a ginormous puddle/mini-lake at school, which dries up in a few hours, leaving interesting dirt patterns on the ground. i have no idea how the dirt curls up like that, but it makes for a great sculpture.
