Some days, a body could really use a fireplace...

I wuz all set to make fun of the Dimocrat debate ’n it would’a been laughable, I guess, if it hadn’t been overshadowed by the Islamic Terrorist attack in Paris…kind’a takes the edge off coming up with smart-ass remarks about Hillary…’Course, she doesn’t really need my help, she seems to have her own feet in her own mouth almost as often as Uncle Joe…

So, on to the weather…the weather is an important and time-consuming subject here in ‘way too sunny California where we’ve been living in a drought situation since the late ‘70s…But, finally we’ve been getting some rain ’n things are greening up ‘round the old Manor House ’n more importantly, we’ve been getting snow on the Sierra...

I wuz told that the rain ‘ud be here about 2 in the A.M. ’n that if I slept it, I’d prob’ly wake to clearing skies…tee vee is boring without Millyrose so I turned it off ’n read a book…a ‘real’ book with pages ’n ever’thing ’n still managed to get to bed before !!:00 P.M.

And woke up to the rain in the middle of the nite…s’alright, I tho’t, ’n I went back to sleep expecting…well, it don’t matter what I might have been expecting this morning but what I got is rain, a cold rain, a steady, monotonous and cold rain ’n it’s still raining…Ah well, according to the song, That’s life ’n you can’t deny it….’n I quote that becuz there’s a Sinatra wanna-be doing a version of that for a commercial…you’d think since I remember it, it’s prob’ly working as a commercial ‘cept for the life of me, I haven’t the foggiest idea what the commercial is for….Ah well, that’s life….I guess…Have a nice Sunday….
