Well, it's over. I have officially taken the Louisiana bar exam. I am a free man. And the first thing I am compelled to write about? The weather. Actually, I've been wanting to post this since I read it in the paper. One commentator actually called New Orleans' weather this summer akin to a "nuclear winter." I thought that was terrifyingly apt. Almost every day it has been overcast and rainy, accompanied by flashes of lighting and crashes of thunder. Even those days with sun where you lay out at a friend's 6th story rooftop pool, you find yourself sprinting through the warehouse district streets to your car down the street in the kind of instantly-drenched downpour. I don't know if it has something to do with global warming or repurcussions of hurricanes in the gulf, but it sucks. And now that I actually have time to "enjoy" the weather, it really sucks. Heh. Even now the sun pokes its head out of the clouds, as if daring me to take a book outside and read.
