Rain, rain, go away...

It rained again today, as it has every day but two or three since the beginning of December. Here's an excerpt from the morning paper on the subject:

"Today is Groundhog Day, and its de-facto commander in chief, Punxsutawney Phil, will be popping out of his hole. If he sees his shadow, he'll disappear again to duck six more weeks of winter. No shadow and he'll amble out for an early spring.
If Phil lived in the Lower Mainland, there'd be a third option. After making his entrance into the sodden season we've been enduring, he'd just shoot himself."

At least the bureaucrats probably won't ban lawn-watering this summer.
