"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet." Roger Miller
For the most part, gettin' old ain't nuthin' t'brag about…it ain't like you have to try really hard or practice every day t'get good at it…Heck! You don't even have t'be good at it…you just have to hang around long enuff 'n one day y'look in the mirror 'n find out that you've done it without hardly any effort at all…
A big ol storm moved into northern California t'day…we had lots of warning…every weatherman on every local teevee station has been almost gleeful talking about it for durn near a week now…
You know they have t'be truly gratified becuz it came in just as they all said it would do 'n not only that, but they even called the time right, too…well, pretty near 'n if they didn't get it right on the minute, why that's okay…kind'a like horseshoes, y'know, all they got t'do is get what a reasonable person 'ud call close…
So, me 'n da boyz slept in…well, that's one of the perks of being a dog (or an old retired person)…
I finally cudn't stay in bed any longer 'n took da boyz outside where they didn't really want to get off the porch (they did)…but they ain't been pestering me for their morning walk…
what they are doing,being practical dogs, is after they had some breakfast, they went back t'sleep…'n me, being an old retired person,glanced at the SacBee snooze-nooze before I sat down at the computer with a 2nd cup of coffee…
"The best thing y'can do when it's raining is to let it rain." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
