An easy music trivial question this morning: "The Beatles, 1966, the first line from the song Rain." 10 bonus points for the complete answer.
Last night, the rain did indeed come. It's monsoon season, after all. It started with the distant rumble of thunder. I had been texting with Mark - he said it was raining at his house (about 20 miles north of us). Looking at radar, it was moving south.
The "official" rainfall for Phoenix is recorded at Sky Harbor International Airport - they received a grand total of... nothing. Here in Laveen, the National Weather Service called our rainfall at .24"... it was obviously localized. The rain pounded here; no idea what we actually received, but it was the first time we've seen large puddles in parts of our yard. Under the turf, pavers, and gravel, the ground is hard and dry - it can't easily absorb that much rain all at once.
This morning, the puddles were gone. It pounded hard enough that it actually rinsed off everything in the yard... instead of what we've come to expect: dirty water spots.
Steph and Dan are in California, the Guide Dog puppy they raised is "graduating." Rubina has been placed with her person and there is a ceremony for that on Saturday. So, we are kitty-sitting once again. We spent the evening at their house, so the Grandkitties had human company. The thunder didn't fire up until we were back in our house. I went over to check on the kitties during the thunder and rain - they seemed chill.
It seemed like a lot of rain to us.

Video Production...
I didn't get out of the house today, other than a couple excursions in the yard to get Murphy some outdoor time. The reason...
You may have to look close, but I have lights and a video camera set up in my music room. I got the Aeroband guitar back from Mark yesterday and spent most of today shooting video and getting after the editing process. Mark sent me videos from his phone while he checked out the Aeroband.
The editing is getting close - hope to have that finished by tomorrow.
