[RC] sending some rain to the SE - watch out! - Marlene Moss
Speaking of sending some rain . . . people around Georgia
will be getting plenty of rain for the next couple years. Ok, this is a
joke of course, but my brother in law is some kind of rain god and according to
him, it has been this way his entire life.
He met my sister in school in Northern Colorado. Right
after I moved away they had tons of rain, flooded the CSU library. They both
joined the Air Force and were in Florida during one of the really bad hurricane
years. Then North Dakota – who ever hears of flooding there?
Well, it did. Then San Antonio and their back yard almost became part of
the river. Then Ohio and there were record snow falls. Then
Virginia – the year cars were left at Dulles for many days because no one
could get them out of snow drifts.
During all that we had some pretty bad drought years in
Colorado. The day he arrived back in CO to be stationed here I was out
riding in the mountains in May. We’d had about 6 total inches of
snow that winter at 9000’ elevation. So we got back to the trailer
as a couple rain drops fell and drove back to our house which was 2 miles as
the crow flies and 10 miles via roads and could see the ground was white in the
distance. We drove through 6-12” of hail by the time we got to our
house to find my sister and b-i-l stuck at the bottom of our driveway in over a
foot of snow/hail. We had a very wet summer.
Then we moved further south in CO had a pretty dry
year. Finally my sister (who hates horses and doesn’t want me
contaminating her daughter) decided to visit us. It hadn’t rained
the entire summer and this was the beginning of the recent drought that
affected the SE as well. That day, almost as they drove in the driveway
it rained. About 4” (this is HUGE for southern CO) and quite a bit
more in surrounding areas. Lots of roads washed out for months.
So not that I’m superstitious or anything, but they
are being sent to GA next and b-i-l will be arriving the beginning of May for a
couple weeks and then moving in June for at least 2 years, so don’t say
you weren’t warned!
Hee hee!

PS – the weather is always perfect whenever my husband
and I go to a ride, so if anyone would like to hire us to come to their rides
to make sure the weather is good, just let us know. And we have to do the
50 or longer cuz if we only do the 25, the 50’s will get drenched!
Guess it helps that we’ve been riding in mostly a drought for the last 7
years!
