The rain and cool temperatures brought welcome relief from the summer heat wave. In San Francisco this is shaping up to be one of the wettest Junes ever. For the first year since scientists began keeping records in 1849 there will be more precipitation in June than there was in January. There won't be water rationing this year, so I won't have to make tough choices between lawn, laundry, and lavatory.
Things are looking up--or should I say down--in other areas as well. Slowly, ever slowly, the unemployment rate falls. In San Mateo County the percentage of people looking for work is a still-high 8.1%, but the trend is in the right direction. On Friday I paid $3.599 for a gallon of regular, the lowest it's been this year.
If stocks continue the rebound begun yesterday, that will be icing on the cake.
