Still waitin' for the rain...




Just read an interesting statistic: 3/4 of the people make up 75% of the population...

The clouds rolled in yest'iday 'n you c'd smell that we wuz gonna have rain...'course, here in northern California that don't necessary signify...sumtimes it looks like rain but it just jumps right over us 'n goes on to the rest of the country...happens all the time no matter what the forecasters say 'n s'long as we get snow in the Sierra, it don't matter all that much except maybe if we get a little moisture here, we get that Spring green that looks so good 'n grows so fast 'n turns so brown when it dries up 'n turns into that extreme fire hazard that costs so much money 'n provides jobs for all the firefighters...specially when we always, several times a year anyway, get sumbody who makes sure that we get fires along the American River Parkway...
When I wuz a boy, there wuz a certain sumbody (even after all these years, I ain't gonna say who) who use'ta set fires to the hills becuz he believed that burning out the underbrush improved the squirrel hunting...
Anyways, I think that leaving weather control to God is prob'ly a good move even if we do get some pretty nasty storms now 'n then...'course, in this secular world we're living in t'day, there's a lot of people who think the guv'mint should take control...with the guv'mint in charge they c'ud make it a lot more 'fair'...that seems t'be Obama's fav'rit catch phrase anyways...makin' thing 'more fair'...ain't sure how he'd go about it but I figger those blue Democrat states 'ud get that southern California weather 'n them red Republican states 'ud all get t'be more like North Dakota...

I b'leeve it wuz Mark Twain 'n Will Rogers who famously stated several times that "everybody complains about the weather but nobody ever does anything about it."
