Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

When It Rains In Arizona
I was finishing up with work yesterday and to my surprise it started raining outside. Not just a light sprinkle, but a heavy downpour. I had the news on the television in the background and I heard the host say that my side of town, most specifically the intersection of two freeways closest to where I live, was the center point of a huge storm. It always fascinates me that how it can be raining in one place in the valley but not another.
The post-rain sunset in Phoenix can be quite dramatic
To most people rain is one of those annoying features of nature that we've come to accept and live with. That is to most people who live outside of Arizona. For the rest of us who call the Phoenix our home, rain is one of those very special treats which we hear about so often throughout the rest of the country but happens less then a handful of times a year at best here in the desert.
While the rest of the country considers a rainy, cloudy day to be somewhat dreary and depressing, we see it as a brief reprieve from the heat and bright sunlight. In the many years that I've lived here in Arizona, I've only experienced a few times where it's rained non-stop for several days, and let me tell you, those were probably some of the nicest days I can remember. The rest of the world arrives in Arizona for vacation to bask in the warm sun and stare into the deep blue sky in awe that such a place can exist without a single cloud above. For those of us that live here, well it's just another ordinary day in the Valley of the Sun. Cheers!
That's an awesome picture you got Rich, I love the rays!
I haven't ever lived in a desert but I still love a good rain. I prefer it over blazing sun when it's too hot. I can see why to you rain is a precious and beautiful change.
Have a great week, I'm finished vacation and am back to work Tuesday! Will you adopt me so I can retire? LOL
