Today it rained in California.  I don't know about everywhere else but here in Western part of Los Angeles, it had a very light drizzle or mist yesterday and most may not have noticed but I still consider that the first rain of the season.  Today it actually rained like it was supposed to.  And I hope people are driving carefully but this being LA I know there are going to be douchebags causing accidents cause they just wanna get home faster so they can watch their large flat screen TV.

In Korea, way back before there was seperation of northern and southern part of Korea into what we know as North Korea (communism), South Korea (republic), there was one Korea, and back in 1441, there was an invention that allowed measuring of rain.  It measured how much rain had fallen in very simple way.

This invention called Cheugugi is simply a container that had set on stone and measuring stick was used to tell how much rain it had collected.  Just like we currently tell how much feet of snow had fallen because snow's height can be measured, so can height of rain because of this invention.

And no this is NOT the Rain I'm talking about.

He's some kind of Korean male entertainer who happens to go by the name Rain, and this blog has nothing to do with him.  So... why are you still reading?  Move on to the next blog entry.
