You know you're swimming in the north when....

Originally posted by craiglll@yahoo.com Fred, I've been in Houston in the fall, summer, winter & spring. One time I couldn't go work out because it was raining so hard my brother's driveway was flooded & i couldn't get to the car. Another time, it was raining so hard thaat the rain was flooding the entry way to the pol & ran into the pool & ruyined the chlorine level. I've never had either of those happen inthe north. And you continue to live in the North?? Visitors to our fair city often are heard to question how it can be 99% humidity and NOT actually raining. When the rains finally come down (in the buckets that you've experienced) its actually quite a relief for them. One suggestion for your next visit: when its coming down (which it sounds like it always is when you are here), get your suit on, clear your goggles, get a pull bouy or kick board and when the street floods, start swimming TO the pool. The curb makes a good "lane line." :D
