Married people understand.

time is fixed to water the lawn, not matter its raining

LA rain is deeply polluted, agreed? Whereas, they source their water form up North at the Hetch Hetchy (near Silicon Valley)...so he DOES carefully manicure/pamper his little plot of grass. freak!

Actually, this is not as daft as it looks.

If you water your lawn when it's hot, most of the water evaporates before the grass can absorb it. Depending on how long / heavy the rain is, watering it can still make sense.

Of course, that ignores how stupid the idea of lawns in hot countries are in the first place.
