Slingin' in the rain

MUDDY SHOES- Simi residents Curtis Marsh and Eddie Hatcher, above, brave the rain Friday for a game of horseshoes at Rancho Simi Community Park. Though not as severe as some meteorologists predicted, last weekend's storms did dump a substantial amount of rain in Simi Valley, causing a lot of splashing for drivers on Royal Avenue, right, and other local thoroughfares.
