RE: O/T: Rain

The battle cry for the 1948 Boston Braves during the World Series with
the Cleveland Braves was "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain" which
pointed out how little pitching the Braves had.

Not sure what battle cry we in California should use but the weather
rains
have been almost non existent the last 2 years.

Red flag fire warnings are posted here in SoCal, the snow pack in the
high
Sierra is very low, the central valley, where a lot of the nations
produce is
grown is in deep trouble and here in SoCal 80F outside my window is
nice
but the rain gage is empty.

No rain forecast the at least the next 2 weeks.

Brought to mind a Dean Martin song.

I'm praying for rain in California,

Not to worry, California voters will pass an initiative that outlaws dry
spells. Then everything will be OK.

If you don't start with "RE:", the program automatically adds "RE:"
which means it will write over an "O/T:" flag if one was used.

The "RE" flag protects the "O/T" flag.

BTW, thought "RE:" meant "regarding"

And the weather guys out there will have to preempt all forecasts with a
cancer warning.

Remember the song.... It never rains in California....but girl let me
warn you....

Just wondering why your posts seem always to be a reply (Re:) but no
suggestion of who you are replying to.

Anyway, sorry about the dry spell. We had 79.4 inches at my house
last year (Georgia). 43 inches in December alone. Wish we could
divert some to California.
