<p>Yeah, I hear this weekend is going to be rainy. Fortunately or unfortunately, according to one’s perspective, we’ve been way down on rain this season. Eugene normally has over 5 in. of rain by this point in the calendar year, but 2009 has seen less than 2.</p>
<p>So, your weekend will give your son a preview of wet Oregon weather, but this year that’s partly just the bad luck of this particular weekend.</p>
<p>Although I do enjoy rain and clouds, it is nicer to tour colleges in the sun. I remember when my son and I toured Tufts. It was pouring! They handed out complimentary rain ponchos to everyone. At Lewis & Clark they had these very nice large umbrellas you could borrow.</p>
