It rained hard all night long; the raindrops fell so hard and furiously 😳 that Holland wondered if they may carry hail too: but it was just big, fat, weighty raindrops 😉
Buckets of water poured from the gray-clouded-sky …
When the rain let up for a bit, there were puddles standing atop the pulverized sand … and the rain had fallen so hard - and washed away all the dust and sandy residue, that Betsy shined - which prodded Holland to comment, "the truck finally got washed" 😂🤣
Since we'd be house-bound, I decided to do laundry.
And, even though it was raining off-n-on, I cracked the front door a bit because the house got stuffy 😑, between the humidity outside - and the heat inside (washer, dryer, & Holland's constant running heater 🙄).
The hanging shirts dried quickly 👍
Cracked the door a little because the rainforest environment gets heavy with muggy humidity.
Rain fell off-n-on, all day; forecast much of next week, also.
Between loads of laundry, I drank warming cups of tea, worked more on my currant project; and scrolled through online movie titles, until I hit on one that seemed interesting - with a good cast: William Hurt, Vince Vaughn, & Hal Holbrook among the lineup.
I drank Green Tea, with Honey-Garlic Syrup, all day long.

The movie was a bust; I'm glad we did not waste money on it at a theatre.
About a year ago, we had visited Slab City-CA: and did not find it to be as Hollywood portrayed it; it was a run-down, filthy, hell hole … the RV's, buses and vans did not look anything at all like the stunt vehicles used in this movie. And there was not a jamboree atmosphere - that would have been in Quartzsite-AZ, where we visited every 6 months during our Road Gypsy journeys. MPO is that this movie spliced different places into the Slab City clips to make it look like a hippie haven, instead of a desolate, degenerate, patch of desert soil.
I did not like the vibe of Slab City - and I was glad when we finally left it behind.

Rain always makes me sleepy, so I'm going to shuffle off to Buffalo now, and allow myself to be lulled into dreamland to the backbeat of tap dancing raindrops, racing across Independence's roof 🛌😴
