How do you spell relief? R-A-I-N

I now understand why many of my Indian friends get so excited about rain. After 11 straight days with temperatures topping 90 degrees, we received a brief respite yesterday evening in the form of a few brief but substantial showers. Ahhhhhhhhh. The cooling effect of the rain is amazing. Our apartment was much more comfortable, the girls were not so whiney and life is just much better when you aren't sweating. The forecast is for more hot weather but at least for one night we got to enjoy the benefits of a mid-summer rain. Huh, I guess I just discovered another positive about the summer here, the April shower.
