It rained all day today in Portland.. which is normal for this time of year. .. People here just ignore the rain so we did too. ISpeaking of rain.. here are some nterestign factoids we looked up while in San diego.. WHile San diego\u00a0 gets only 15 inches of rain a year, Portland gets 35 inches of rain. while burlington vt gets 42 inches per year.. Houston (where i’m from) is the rainiest city in all of the US with 50 inches a year !)\u00a0

Anyway.. we took a nice dog run tot he park… and the hardware store in the drizzle.. and it felt great !\u00a0 We loved seeing the flowers !

we settled on the movie ‘Contact’ with jodie foster.. such a great movie. Its based on the book by Carl Sagan.. My brother has a theory that sagan wrote the story after being\u00a0 taken across space to meet another species.. and thats how he contracted the rare cancer that eventually killed him.\u00a0

I had some more nova time which\u00a0 I needed before going tomorrow.\u00a0
