I am not disgruntled. I just hate the rain.

Poor Conspiracy Guy! It could be worse!


Livestock Herding in the Dry Country

Been out here herding livestock,
In the desert scrub,
Livestock here has got some teeth,
Yep, and that’s the rub.

The teeth have got some poison glands,
Their bodies got no legs,
Coffee helps you stay alert,
I’m gettin’ down to dregs.

It wouldn’t pay to lose my edge,
This country’s not forgiving,
It’s hard to even stay alive,
Much less to make a living.

I’m gathering up some rattlesnakes,
They grow well hereabouts,
They make some darn good eatin’ too,
‘Though nothing else here sprouts.

It’s dry round here for washin’ up,
It’s good they’re finger lickin’,
So good cheap wine to wash it down,
A meal that tastes like chicken!

The weather is predictable,
But something ain’t quite right.
I saw a cloud once in the dusk,
It dried here overnight.

Finally some balance. We are on the way to equilibrium now!

I can see why you guys hate the rain. It looks like a scene out of the classic film "The Wages of Fear," which was shot some place in Latin America.

Artist: The Beatles
Song: Rain (Lennon/McCartney)
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down.)
And drink their lemonade.
(When the sun shines down.)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
(When the sun shines down.)
Everything's the same.
(When the sun shines down.)
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
(When the sun shines down.)
It's just a state of mind?
(When the sun shines down.)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads

[Conspiracy Guy]

Looks like my neighborhood after 3 weeks of rain ; )

[Conspiracy Guy]

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, It's alright!

[JustAmy]

How about Bird Dog?

Good afternoon, OESY.
Hope you are having a Terrific Tuesday.

. "The Warmth Of The Sun"
Brian Wilson/Mike Love

What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way

For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)

The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"

Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Within me tonight)

I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel

My love's like the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(It won't ever die)

[JustAmy]

Don't worry about a little rain.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Warmth of the Sun and In my Room are two of my favorite Beachboys tunes.

[OESY]

Bird Dog. Brings back old memories. Err, am I dating myself? (no pun intended or allowed)

[JustAmy]

OR

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't recognize the tune. Must be the rain!

[JustAmy]

Ooops .... did I ping you to #113?

[Borax Queen]

Thank you! It's snowing in the mountains around town today, and it's soooo cold right now. It will drop to 33 tonight.

[international american]

I know it, but can't remember the lyrics.

[international american]

Both are excellent.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Pennies from heaven are heck on my trucks paint job.

God Only Knows is another.
