I just happened to be out there when it rained (Anaheim)
I believe it is the So Cal drivers and not the rain. I had no troubles
driving on wet roads. It was a blast to watch alot of others playing
bumper cars though.
Kind of like New Yorkers (long Islanders) driving in the snow.

That is about right. Most of the freeways have grooved pavement now which
really helps but too many folks are still going to fast for the conditions.
Also it is just the first good rain of the year that is the big problem. LA
has had some rain but here in SD we just got our first real rain, almost an
inch. Besides what do you mean you were in Anaheim and did not give us a
call or stop by.
