It has rained a lot in the past few days.

I find it totally interesting that after the rain, one can see a gazillion earthworms on the pavement probably trying to escape the moisture in the ground. I swear I saw one every two steps during my pedestrian travels yesterday. And I so careful not to step on any of them. Quite a feat considering part of my walking route is totally dark. I couldn't tell if they were actually earthworms or sticks that had fallen off the trees during the past stormy days...
