We got a little bit of rain yesterday morning, but it wasn't more then an eighth of an inch. In fact, we got just shy of half an inch on Thursday. The strange thing is, we had two bursts of heavy rain. The later burst lasted a few minutes. But that's how strange Mother Nature works sometimes.

Had a dream last night that me a few people I knew, went to this restaurant we had been here good things about. When we got there, a large crowd was in the lobby and we thought we would have to wait awhile. But they were leaving and so we taken to our table. We walked through the main dining area and descended the stairs to this large are downstairs that was dark. The person who was showing us to our table walked so fast that I lost him in the dark. As we continued to stumble in the room, I looked over and saw people sitting in chairs along the wall. Finally I took a flashlight out of my bag and found our table. The person who had led us downstairs and a few of the people seemed a bit perturbed by the flashlight, but I figured we would never have found our table without it. After we had been sitting down in the dark for awhile a projector turned on and some weird films started to play. Without us even having to order, some food was put in front of us. Since the tables in the room were rather large, a couple more small groups were seated with us. None of us in my group were happy about our experience so far. As the films played, a guy at our table started to cry about the gal featured in one of the films. He said it was so sad what happened to her, he was upset enough he couldn't finish his meal. After we eat a little of the bad food, we paid our bill and left. The next day I went to my office writing a review of the restaurant. When it was published, the newspaper got a little backlash from the restaurant and some of its fans about the article. We defended it, because it was all true. Later we found out that if they felt you weren't good enough to be seated upstairs you got taken to the basement dining room. A few days after the article appeared, the restaurant closed for remodeling.
