Charleston Weather and Cars

Back home there was this saying, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." We often joke about how forecasts are never accurate, but here, near the coast, it is all very strange. Back home, if it was going to rain, there would be some kind of warning, a front would move in, you could see it coming and it always came basically from the same direction. I don't ever recall getting rain from Kansas City...

Here, it is always rain, and only rain, but it could come from anywhere. It could be clear as day and sunny and then ten minutes later, it could be raining and the rain could come from the west or the east or where ever, it's just seems odd to me, but yesterday I decided it would be the same way if I lived on a tropical island, so now I rather enjoy it.

My tropical island with lots of freeways....

I am also fascinated by the small number of crappy cars here. I'm guessing it's because there is no sense in buying a car unless it has good air conditioning, so if you can't afford something that good, you just rely on the bus. Also, there's all the freaking highways, so maybe that's a factor. I don't know, I'm just noting the observation.
