I absolutely love the rain.  I especially love thunderstorms.  Besides nature-related reasons, there are so many others!  The sound of rain is sooo soothing.  Also, I love to watch lightning.  It looks so frickin cool!  There is one going on right now, and I have been thinking about when to go to sleep, and this will make it so much easier.  I also love to leave a window slightly open so I can hear the rain better.   Also, rain increases our sales where I work, so I get to take more deliveries.  Consequently, people are more willing to give good tips too.  

Also, if you are out with a girl for the first time, and bring an umbrella, it gives you a chance to get close to her, and also give her your coat because it may start getting cold if she gets wet or to give her better protection.  

It is also fun to run out and play in the rain.  Then you get to come inside and take a hot bath to warm yourself back up.  

Man, there are so many reasons why rain is so great, but I got to stop so I can go to sleep.  RAIN!!!
