Rainy day...again

The weather here was absolutely perfect...a couple days ago. Since Saturday, however, it's been perfect as well...if you really love cold, windy and soggy. I am not one of those people, but I am an optimist. So I've compiled a short list of situations where the weather could be described as absolutely perfect:

1. If you're a right wing Republican explaining how the weather is simply God's reaction to the midterm elections.

2. If you're a Democrat hoping your opponent says something like #1 to the media.

3. You're collecting rain in gigantic reservoirs in preparation for the next great dust bowl.

4. You're the owner of windshield wiper manufacturing company, umbrella company, rain coat company...you get the idea.

5. You have one of those rare diseases that make you allergic to the sun. It's party time!

6. You like to go to the beach, but only if you can have it all to yourself.

7. You've been waiting for a good opportunity to use that Dominos Pizza coupon you cut out of the Sunday paper.

8. You're actually in Hawaii on vacation while the weather is sucking at home. Something about that seems to make vacation that much nicer...in a "glad I wasn't you" sort of way.

9. Your house is on fire....not that you should even think about that but if it were in fact on fire wouldn't you want the weather to be rainy?

10. You've been just waiting for the opportunity to curl up with a hot cup of tea and a good book for 3 days straight.

So there we go. Thank goodness the weather is so cold, windy and soggy. It's a true blessing.
