I need to work for the weather department, if there is such a place.  It's guaranteed to rain 100% every time I get my car washed.  And the more money I spend on washing it, the harder and nastier the rain will be.  Heaven forbid if I ever get it detailed!  For the past few months, it's been hotter than hades in these parts and I hadn't washed my car because I don't like hanging out at the car wash.  Yea, petty, I know.  Anyway, all this talk of a drought prompted my son talk me into getting a car wash this past weekend.  That, and the fact that there was about 4 inches of dust and grime that had gathered on my car.  For the longest time, I thought I had a gray car.  Imagine my surprise when they told me my car was done and it turned out to be blue.  What I love most about a car wash are the clean windows.  I usually clean my windshields at the gas station, but nothing beats the streak-free glimmer of a shiny, clean, hand-washed window.  I can see the bugs smashing into them now.

So, my clean car and I drive off into the sunset and what do I see next on the news?  A chance of showers within the next two days.  Of course, if I left it dirty and dusty, the temperature would climb back to the 100s.  So my choices are clean car and a good chance of rain, therefore, ultimately a dirty car, or dusty gray car but sunny skies.  I do like having a clean car.  But I think the community should pitch in for a car wash each time we need the rain!
