1. Don't I know it. I walked from the Ferry Bldg to the Moscone Center in the rain today.

But I'm very glad we are getting some rain.

[AsahinaKimi]

2. About friggin time too..with the

drought California has been having...

[Gravitycollapse]

3. That first pic reminds me of when I was piss ass drunk on New Years in SF...

And needed to use the bathroom soooooo badly but that corner restaurant wouldn't let me even when I offered them 5 dollars.

15. Hint. Hotel lobbies have lovely bathrooms.

[Gravitycollapse]

18. The pizza place across the street let me use their facilities and refused any tip.

It was weird but I was very grateful.

[Luminous Animal]

22. Once, after the 4th fireworks, PG&E workers let me and my

workers let me use their subterranean hell-hole of a bathroom. I was grateful but, for ever after, I'll risk the $75 peeing in public ticket.

4. Enjoy

[Gothmog]

5. I hope that this eases your drought

Houston is still suffering from the drought of a couple of years ago

[warrior1]

6. Awesome

We are getting rain here in Sacramento too.

7. No dancing in the streets?

Or singin' in the rain?

[yuiyoshida]

9. I think sadly that...

Fred Astaire is gone...

[kentauros]

11. Yes

but he gave us happiness and wonderful memories

[Johnyawl]

21. Yes, and so is Gene Kelly...

... who is the man in the picture you posted, and the star of "Singing in the Rain".

[yuiyoshida]

25. Oh thanks for that...

This is way beyond my time.. hard to keep up with it all

[Brother Buzz]

12. Tall people are too afraid to dance on the streets of San Francisco in the rain...

We're too busy dodging those pesky pointy things on the edges of umbrellas. Been there, done that.

[kentauros]

13. Dodging can be dancing, too.

Just make it creative

[Brother Buzz]

14. Well then, I'm totally there

Seriously, I really have a genuine fear of walking down crowded sidewalks in 'The City' with all those umbrellas attacking my face from every direction; the pointiest ones are ALWAYS at eye level.

[kentauros]

35. Perhaps you need to dress like The Stig, for protection

[Brother Buzz]

41. That's an idea. I should dust off my Captain Satellite uniform, I understand it's back in fashion

[kentauros]

43. Thanks for the laugh!

And people might even give you a wide berth

[Brother Buzz]

44. It's been stored in mothballs

People will naturally give me a wide berth.

[kentauros]

45. Must have been fun when you got to play that.

Looks fun, anyway

[Luminous Animal]

17. I've danced naked in the rain in San Francisco. Sure, when I do, it is 4 AM and warm.

Alas, I have to work tomorrow so no wee hour cavorting.

[kentauros]

37. Maybe later in the year then.

Postponed dancing

[calimary]

33. Well, inside, we are!

VERY happy and celebrating! And knowing all the little plants outside there are getting a welcome drink!

[kentauros]

36. That's always a benefit :)

We had a downpour this morning here, and while this part of Texas isn't in a drought any more, it's still nice for my plants

[CherokeeDem]

8. Glad to hear you are gettin rain!

I haven't been to San Francisco in several years and I miss it. It's one of my favorite cities... gotta get back there soon!

Thanks for the pics... and hope the rains bring you all some relief!

[yuiyoshida]

10. Normally every year I go to

See the Chinese New Years parade, and it ALWAYS RAINS... you can count on it. Not this year. Clear as a bell. Now... we get it.

[PasadenaTrudy]

16. Send some south!

Still waiting in Pasadena!

[Warren DeMontague]

19. ...I don't mind.

[Luminous Animal]

20. Lovely pictures. 4,5 and 7 are grand.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

23. Love the pics! Been to San Fran once for a very short time. Indeed, so short that I never even

got a chance to cross the Golden Gate Bridge.

[joesdaughter]

24. Thanks

Great pictures. I can almost smell the rain.

[yuiyoshida]

29. It seems we got some high winds a well

MY windows are shaking!!

[DeSwiss]

26. K&R

- Looks like it'll be there for a good while too! Congratulations!!!!

[Jamaal510]

27. There's more

from where that comes from; it's supposed to be pouring throughout the weekend up here in Humboldt, so get ready.

[wilt the stilt]

28. The building on the leftin the first picture is my company's old HQ

we have moved since then into bigger digs but i'v been in that building many times.

[yuiyoshida]

30. I love the last pic of the Castro ...

Seems even in RAIN you can find some RAINBOWS! !

[calimary]

31. Very happy to be able to add - L.A. is now getting rain, too!

FINALLY!!!!! We're SO parched here! I just got home in the nick of time! BIG drops plopping on the windshield! What a relief! Thank you, God!

[mulsh]

32. So is Oakland but what we really need is lots of snow in the Sierras.

Let's hope there are a few more storms headed this way after next week's break. Don't the streets smell nicer after a bit of rain? My old office is in the building next to Zoetrope (Victorian builting, Coppola's HQ.) in that first photo, second bay window on the 3rd floor. used to wave to the neighbors across the street every morning.

Great photos, I hope you had fun out in the rain today.

[SHRED]

34. Heading into SOCAL tonight!!

[hunter]

38. It's here too.

With two, just two feeble California lightning flashes.

(I've lived in the Midwest where they have very serious lightning, tornadoes, and hail.)

Nevertheless, mild-mannered dog is hiding under my desk.

[Tikki]

39. It's here on the Central Coast now…some will be good for our fields (crops), some may do a bit….

of soggy to some vegetable…but I am not even going to complain about the rusted lettuce.
This rain is so needed...YAY

[Pretzel_Warrior]

40. wow. several of those spots are ones I've been to several times including that gate at Chinatown

glad Bay area is getting needed precipitation

[sakabatou]

42. Much needed rain

I hope it rains more so that we don't have a drought.
