I wouldn't want rain daily but here in CA it really doesn't rain that much (compared to the East) AND we seldom get big thunderstorms. I admit, I love thunderstorms. Something neat about them.
Bad thing in CA tho is people can't drive in the rain here. Freeways slow down to a crawl at the slightest drizzle. AND, if your on the freeway during 5:00 traffic, you'll triple your time to get to/from work.
I heard a line from Two & Half Men a couple weeks ago that only a Californian would get. Waldon's mom is coming up to Santa Monica from San Diego. Walden says, "you're 10 miles away?" "Ok, then, I'll see you in about 2 hours."
