I never leave home without it.Put some tin foil on your head, just in case....
Oh. So it's just another day in the neighborhood?My advice is strip, run through yard, laugh at the sky, and watch for police, outraged neighbors

Could you send some down here? Since June 1st, we've had a whopping 0.05 inches of rain. On the plus side, I haven't had to mow my lawn for six weeks. The negative, the grass is no longer dormant, it's dead.ChiO wrote:Need some help.
A few minutes ago, the sky got somewhat dark. Then there was a strange rumbling. Then it sounded as if the roof was being pelted.
I just stepped outside. There are these odd, translucent globules falling from the sky. They seem to be -- how best to describe it? -- wet.
Is anyone familiar with this strange phenomenon? What is it called? Is it good? The flowers, tomatoes and beans appear to be in shock.
As Fate (bless the Gods of Noir) would have it, we were with all 2 years, 4 months of the Most Beautiful Granddaughter in This and All Parallel Universes in Atlanta (105 degrees, anyone? In a suit and tie?) for our nephew's wedding. We heard about the storms during the rehearsal dinner. The Son-in-Law called neighbors to find out the damage. Although they live in a veritable forest, nothing landed on the house (that's the benefit of having the Most Beautiful Granddaughter in This and All Parallel Universes living there), but several large branches fell across the driveway. Son-in-Law's response? Grabbed his phone and ordered a new, larger, more powerful chainsaw so he could play when they returned (He's a lumberjack/And he's okay!).Oh, was the most lovely grandchild in the history of the world affected by the storms. The DC area got hit harder than the Baltimore region. And it was bad enough on this side.
I'm familiar with the syndrome. But what about my parents' farm about 35 SE of you? The good news: corn prices skyrocket. The bad news: No new corn for sale. The good news?: Quite an electric bill savings since they won't have any corn to dry this year. Or, as I tell my Dad, "Why do you complain about the weather? This is an issue of farm management."I haven't had to mow my lawn for six weeks. The negative, the grass is no longer dormant, it's dead.
I'm sorry Knitty...we Greek Orthodox are offended. We're not worthy of suffering (and ridicule)?IT'S SO DRY in Kansas that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving rain checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water!
Jus' joshin' ya...I thought they were funny, too. But the "using olive oil" doesn't work because we do use olive oil as an integral part of the baptism (so Satan can't keep a firm hold on the infant...Hey! Buy the premise, you buy the bit,).How about, the Orthodox are using olive oil for baptism?????? and I sure didn't mean ridicule, just thought it was funny
Sorry, Chris. It doesn't look so awful from today's perspective.movieman1957 wrote:Oh, you had to remind me of that awful snow. 26" and that was one storm. We had others. I don't want to have another winter like that again.
