It followed me home, but I DON’T want to keep it…

Alternate title- Just call me Joe…



I’m really showing my age, but I used to read Dogpatch in the comics when I was a kid… Joe Btfsplk just fit today in more ways than one…


Finally got out of work about 1730, and started the slog back to the apartment.  In the distance I could see a little pop-up thunderstorm cell (by little I mean about 2 blocks big).  Sure enough I have to go through the damn thing…


RAIN- like the proverbial cow on a flat rock!!! I mean quarter size rain drops in probably the space of 50-100 feet!!!


Heavy rain all the way through, and yet I can see sunlight a block away… Finally get to the far side (hey, 20 mph is GOOD up here even with NO rain…


Get across the Interstate, get stuck in traffic again, all of a sudden, RAIN…  Well damn, same cloud; mutter, mumble, two blocks and I’ll duck down a side street, and I’m out of it again!


Okay, it’s going that’a’way, I’m going this’a’way so no problem… Two blocks later, RAIN…


Alright, enough is enough… damn rain cloud is now changing directions???


Finally traffic picks up and I get out in front of it, turn left and get back down to the Apartment garage. Grab the stuff out of the truck and head for the apartment and RAIN… damn cloud turned LEFT and followed me home… 


Anybody want a rain cloud?  Not potty trained, LOTS of rain, no lightening, no thunder???  Free to a good home???


EDIT- And it showed back up about 0100 this morning with it’s big brothers and stood my ass straight up out of bed with thunder and lightning… Nice show, but dayum… I was trying to sleep over here…


Gonna be a LONG day today… Sigh

  1. Sure, why not? If it means it will cool temperatures to something slightly more tolerable, I’ll take it.

    If not, I have an extra umbrella if you need it. One of them even has smiley sunshine faces on it.

    😉

  2. It may not be you. Maybe it’s your truck that’s cursed. Set it on fire and see if that fixes the problem.

  3. You found the source for my avatar…and understand the background. A sign of good taste.

    Lil Abner was pretty good in its day. Pretty good still 🙂
