The Crazy Rain

This summer of 08 has been like a 30 day monsoon. The whole month of June was wasted under a constant downpour. It was the most rain in June since, well, ever. Summer feels like it just started and it's already July. The rain aggravated me as I walked to collect sounds. Can I keep recording, do I put my stuff away and wait? Can I keep recording? Do I wait? I only had to wait a little while but that rain took away many of the summer sounds I could have collected. The park was pretty much deserted. I was also a little aggravated by the constant bang sounds that echo through the neighborhood. It can be never ending, especially around the Fourth of July. I usually faze the sounds out of my conscious but listening to the city sounds amplified through my headphones I found them hard to block out.
