We had a little hail shower today

[guanin]

And I do mean a little hail shower. the hail was tiny. Diminutive. Absolute no more than three millimeters across. It was almost cute. At first, I thought it was rain, but then a girl in front of me on the street stretched out her hand and I saw some land on her black jacket sleeve. I'd never seen hail that tiny. Well, I've only seen hail once before, really, in México. never in Illinois, oddly enough. But that hail had been inch wide chucks that attacked us and left me cursing hail for the rest of my life, until now. Seriously, this was just cute. Cute, little hail.

Hee, I've never heard hail described as cute before :)

But it was cute! See, I always thought of hail as these huge things that break car windows. These felt like tiny, rain droplets, save that they didn't leave you wet.
