“Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.”― George Carlin

Be careful what you are praying for, you might get it… just like our last election.
After a prolonged drought, Californians were literally crying, praying, even dancing for rain. Following a seemingly endless drenching, they are now crying and praying again for it to stop.

Can too much of a good thing be bad? It looks like it. Too much of anything is not good for you. A slice of cake can be gratifying but gobbling the entire “gateau” will make you sick.
To the delight of the people, the prayed-for rain appeared like a Good Samaritan… but behaved like an invading force. It rampaged through the land raping and pillaging at will. It caused heavy flooding, washed hills away, knocked down venerable trees, destroyed roads, bridges, and left many communities without electric power.
When you witness this, can you still doubt climate change? Naysayers are always ready for a quick response, but on the sly they are adding stilts to their houses and buying flood insurance.
Excess of everything (wealth, food, weed, bowling, twitting) is bad for you.
“Excess” if you pay close attention, is a four-letter word in sheep’s clothing. If you are not careful, if will creep up on you and drag you down. It is the traditional monkey on your back (ego) that needs to be constantly fed and won’t let go.
April showers… OK. But a biblical deluge… my ark is not ready yet.
Just like King Midas, be careful what you pray for; you just might get it.

I love rain… It is never enough for me.
