Rain Falls Like Daggers

For once, the weathermen has managed to get it right. Just when I was actually hitting a stride playing tennis today, the skies opened up and well, the rest is history I suppose. Although dad was optimistic the whole time, and overwhelming optimism rarely overtakes the seriously unpredictable powers of nature. So we cut this week short and headed over to the Drake Tavern for a beer and some food, which was great because watching the Phillies rain delay without sound is just about as exciting as getting hit in the forehead with a wet tennis ball.

So I suppose this means that tomorrows bike ride is off as well. The park tends to flood with any amount of rain, but when it rains this hard, it will probably stay damp for at least a day or two, and apparently it will continue to rain for the next few days here. Let's here it for the weather, because without it we would not have to have fluid schedules revolving around unforeseen circumstances! Anyone!?

You know the rain is refreshing though, it feels good to see the world in a weird peace. Thunder seems so calming as it rolls across the city and slams into the mountains without wonder or worry. Sometimes it's easy to forget the miracles that make our planet so unique and delightful. So don't turn around and screw it up by being an asshole and littering and polluting! Just because we live in an urban setting doesn't make it cool to through trash out the window, even if it's a cigarette butt. Assholes.
