It isn't true! It actually hasn't rained today (so far). But, generally everywhere we go (I share the blame with my wife) it rains. Two years ago we to death valley, we drove past the Death Valley Nation Park sign and I give you one guess as to what happened! Yep we had rain, true it was only a shower but we had rain in death valley when it was 110F degrees (43C).
Favourite song is probably Kashmir by Led Zep!
