... Come again another day. Little Arthur wants to play." From the UK, mid-19th century James Orchard Halliwell.
Yes, that is the whole poem...or, "Come again on Saturday."
As an alternate last line and there a few more, goto to see them all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_Rain_Go_Away
Most people appreciate a little bit of rain to help with floras, to color the landscape as well as green the grasses, as a for-front or the backdrop to the landscape, and of course to fulfill all the earths deep drinking habits for us, its inhabitants to fill our very necessary reservoirs to drink, launder, clean our possessions, swim and bathe ourselves.
So why complain?
Many areas of our fine land are thirsty and are in a devastating drought situation, even half of our own state, on our eastcoast.
The concern is that when we get too much rain flooding can happen, but you all know that.
Our weather man just stated our inches of rain here on the west coast could be anywhere from 3-6 inches, down from a previous prediction of eight or more.
The problem is the rain storms do this thing called "training, coming down one after another, I suppose simulating the same concept of a train pulling its cars behind it and just when you think its all done another one comes after.
I suppose like snow/ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, mudslides, fires caused by lightning, not much can be done.
All we can do is know what to do when they inevitably happen.
Fortunately, that too can be Googled or contact your local emergency management people. I am fortunate in the sense that my Hubby was a fire chief and a deputy and was first trained in emergency procedures in the 1980s in NJ and then was part of the sheriff's office "first in team", the ones to go into the disasters as well as he attending all those hurricane conferences as a community policing officer while here in Florida prior to going into their marine patrol.
On that note please be prepared for any and all possibilities; these things are no longer regional events, it can happen anywhere.
And I so wish that I could tell you something practical to do about these lone gunmen who shoot people while they are out to enjoy their lives, or feeling safe in places to learn or being in the armed forces so to protect all our freedoms while on home turf.
But sadly I am at a loss, and feel like crying for all those people and their families and friends... these last few mentally ill gunners had access to the weapons to carry out their hate, misguided thoughts or whatever is the "new" PC to call why anyone would take anothers life for no reason what-so-ever. Sure, we all think we know but if we actually did then and only then the problem would be solved.
So in spite of more harsh events clouding our picturesque landscape called life with sad and horrifying realities, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you to try and have a very happy good night without violence, and kindly ask you all to count your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
