Rain Slowing Traffic
It seemed as if people were afraid to come out today with the rain. Several passersby said they wished it would stop raining, while few others were excited and happy because their grass and the new seeds they put down were getting the proper treatment.
All around town the streets seemed to be bare with few cars, and not a lot of people walking around. The weather may be good for grass, but for store owners, business is sure to be down.
