...wish it was, we could use some rain down here. Unfortunately ‘USA’ does not mean ‘global’, contrary to what some of you lot over there might think. ;^)

Remember....

Too much rain = Global Warming

Not enough rain = Global Warming

Just the right amount of rain = Worry about Global Warming.

When I logged on today and checked the satellite maps I was amazed at the size of the storm line on the east coast. Stay safe out there, folks.

Sorry mate, I’m just so used to everything being caused by Global Warming that I thought raining must be a Global affair as well.

If you hang on long enough our representatives here in Michigan will probably give you some of our Great Lakes water in an effort to redistribute it.

Here in central Maine we had little precipitation all winter, so the rain is good - restores the water table.

Of course, here in central Maine it usually rains steadily from June to September, with occasional breaks for gloomy gray skies. The Penobscots are the only indian tribe in the country that can do the rain dance backwards.

It’s like someone dropped their sham-wow right in the middle of the continent.
