Life 'n lemonade.......

“Life ain’t about surviving the storm but how to dance in the rain.”
I’m a great believer in positive thinking....tho’ I’m often reminded of the old saw: “Cheer up, things could be worse. So, I cheered up and sure enuff, things got worse.”
Iowa ‘n Missouri are durn near drowned and California is burning.....the midwest is gonna get more rain this summer and California ain’t...I’m almost positive that there are some folks in the midwest that enjoy poling a raft thru downtown streets just to see what they c’n see.....’n I know for a fact that there are some Californians buying fireworks and looking forward to toasting marshmallows over the Fourth.....so, we got weather. “I mean-n, we got wea-ther.” Mark Twain sed, “Everybody always talks about the weather but no one ever does anything about it.”
500 year floods in the midwest but I don’t know how we know that ‘cuz we ain’t go that many years of records.....In hazy, dazy California, they’re saying it’s the driest year on record, but again, we ain’t been keeping records that long....’Course, talkin’ about the weather does give us a break from talkin’ politics.....“So always look for the silver lining, And try to find the sunny side of life.”
All the media, the television, the newspapers, all the pundits are positive that Obama is gonna win the Presidency....It’s revolutionary! It’s an earth-shattering milestone of an event....It’s unprecedented! The USA is gonna elect a black man to the Presidency and we’ll prove to the world that we ain’t racist anymore. One big problem with that is the ‘world’ doesn’t give a damn one way or the other.....What the ‘Libbies’ don’t understand is the same thing that the ‘Uber-cons’ don’t understand; to wit: The mass of humanity struggling in obscurity and quiet desperation don’t have time to sit around contemplating their navels, their days are taken up by life itself.
“Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’,
because I’m free...Nothin’s worrying me....”
