Rain, Rain, Go Away
And never come back… at least for a while… and even then only on Monday-Wednesday. It’s been raining for about a week straight here in Munich. Have you ever heard that people become depressed after not seeing the sun for a while? I can totally believe it now. I haven’t seen the sun in a while, and it hasn’t been because I’ve been glued to my desk. I’ve spent most of the last two weeks bashing through the basics of C again to try to sync a KUKA robot controller and Windows through a real-time TCP/IP connection. I still haven’t quite gotten it.
Munich Weather Forecast
But that isn’t my real beef here. I’m in Munich! I want to go outside, have fun, adventure, and do something active! I haven’t been to a beer garden in over two weeks. That’s preposterous. I’ve been drinking my beer a half-liter at a time at indoor pubs and cafes, rather than in full-liter frothy mugs in the Englischer Garten. In addition, I’ve already cancelled one hiking trip into the Alps, and I don’t want to cancel another. Unfortunately, a look at this week’s forecast says something else. As you glance over to the right, the only thing that can possibly cross your mind is:
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME??”
Rain for the next 6 days? I almost prefer Houston-like rain. In Houston, it will rain so hard you couldn’t possibly walk outside without getting soaked even with an umbrella. However, it usually stops after about fifteen to twenty minutes. In some rare cases, it will last an hour. It has been drizzling straight here, and although one can walk easily through it, it just never lets up. It’ll be nice for the weekend of the 4th of July though. I know because I’m going on an outdoor adventure trip in the Swiss Alps, and I already booked.
