Unfortunetly I have a job that when it rains, I don't work! Anyhoo, I am kinda glad for the rain since it will send everything growing here when we get some sunlight again. Anyone hear any rumbles of thunder in the showers we're getting? Not that I don’t enjoy a good rain, but this is getting crazy! Unfortunetly I have a job that when it rains, I don’t work!
