... that this is being written on Labor Day.
And once again, skies are dark and rain is threatening, and actually falling a few miles south this-morning. The day comes after a week during which there might have been one rainless day, and starts a week when forecasters say there may only be a day or two without rain.
It isn’t forty days and forty nights yet, but we suspect Noah has the boat plans handy.
And I also suspect the weather people are doing handstands, since dire forecasts are their raison d’etre; their reason for existing.
For example, a new tropical storm has earned a name, in the Florida and Gulf Coast area, so we can expect to see television personalities standing out in heavy rain and strong winds, to prove the storm is there, as if we would not believe it if they stayed inside and pointed cameras outside.
