More weather

I wish I could reproduce for you the sound of the torrential rain and hail on the roof. Extra #2 shows the hail accumulating on the ground — a very rare occurrence in Berkeley. I’m grateful to be inside. Yet even as I write this (the pictures were taken 10 minutes ago), the downpour has stopped and a weak sun is coming through. It’s been like this all day, as if a giant were dumping buckets over us and then napping in between.
