“Rain, Rain Go Away!”
The old man in the hat
Rain. I am some glad that we have had bountiful rain. All this rain makes the lawn grow. The lawn. Who invented the lawn. Let’s blame the Albertans. Lawns are just an Albertan conspiracy to force us to spend our hard earned lucre on gas for lawn mowers to perform the single most useless activity on the face of the earth. Lawn mowing.
Let us examine the equation further. Rain plus a freshly mown area equals longer grass. Longer grass equals necessity to mow lawn when sun shines. Sun shines, well watered grass grows more. More grass equals mow again. Repeat. Sun equals work.
Now if we were smart about this whole thing, we would sell the lawn mower, dig up the lawn and install a pool. New equation: More rain equals water in the pool. A day of sun warms said water and makes it inviting. Inviting water, in the pool, leads to lawn chairs, interesting company and perhaps a brew or two. Repeat. Sun equals fun. This makes a lot more sense!!!
