Rain-gry




Oh, we'll get to the cold in a minute, but first, was this really necessary,
Mother Nature? Add a bit of moisture onto the lake that was already known as
"Oklahoma?" We didn't need 4 inches, we needed 6. We didn't need 6 inches, we
needed 8. We still have floods going on for crying out loud!




And the worst part is there are places in Oklahoma that actually need the rain.
And no, I'm not talking about the folks that are standing in mud but still saying
"hey, we'll need this come August," which is POSSIBLY correct, but all at once??
How about a bit for SE OK, say...Ardmore? Newport? Sulphur?




And what about the cold weather? This is el Tres de Mayo, for crying out loud
(sorry, I celebrate on the 3rd). Better get those bathing suits on because the
temperature is going to go up like, 5 or 6 degrees!




Calm down? I'm just getting started! Why I oughta...



Well, okay. That doesn't look so bad. I guess that will be...



NOOOOOOOOO!!!
