Here t’is Sunday all over again....seems like the weeks are rolling over faster’n ever but at least the weather is nice...well, nice for us at the moment but if we don’t get some rain ‘n snow, it’s subject t’be a long, hot summer....’n maybe a thirsty one...I read a couple months ago that we were in one ‘a them El Nino weather patterns which meant a dry winter for us ‘n lots of snow ‘n hard weather up north ‘n back east ‘n it looks like that’s what we got alright already.....
I seem to recall that in other El Nino years the rain started here in February or March ‘n darn near drowned us....all that springtime rain don’t do a lot of good as far as our resevoirs are concerned ‘cuz it’s the snow melt that’s spozed to fill them up....what the spring rains give us is floods ‘n mudslides ‘n lots of scrub growth so when the rain stops ‘n the sun comes out we’ll have enuff fuel to burn the state down....at least, that’s the way it seems t’me.....
‘N then of course we got the bureaucrats managing our water supplies ‘n they get panicky about overfilling the reservoirs from the snow melt that we don’t have ‘n they open the damn dams t’let the water out so as t’be sure that ....well, whatever it is that they imagine is gonna happen....seems like the same mindset runnin’ the water as we got runnin’ the finances so it’s a toss-up whether we run our of water before we run out of money.....the thing those experts can’t seem to grasp is the fact that we only get as much rain ‘n snow as Mama Nature thinks that we ought’a have ‘n it’s up to us to figure out the best way t’use it...or lose it as the case may be....
sort of like that bottomless purse of the taxpayers....
They’ve used up all the golden eggs ‘n now they’re squabbling over the best way to cook the goose...ah well, it ain’t gonna matter to most of us....we ain’t gonna be invited to dine.....
