cheese please

It threatened to pour all day Friday and after the storms we had all last week I believed it.  They say this isn't the rainy season yet, but it has poured harder and longer then I have ever seen (as much as people want to claim it rains in Oakland they are just fooling themselves) 
I am worried.

Tiffany, a girl I met randomly who has been teaching english in China for the past three years.  Talk about an intense cultural experience.  She wanted me to pass on the word to boycott the Olympics this year to help show China that people are paying attention to the atrocities that they have committed... she can't post anything herself about it because all information on the internet, tv and the radio is censored and anything negative about China is banned...
