On a day like today, with the sky overcast and rain falling, hitting the sixth floor glass and running in streaks downward, this song by the Beatles is completely appropriate:
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comesWhen the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade
(When the sun shines down)
When the sun shines, when the sun shinesRain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fineI can show you that when it starts to rain
(When the rain comes down)
Everything's the same
(When the rain comes down)
I can show you, I can show youRain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fineCan you hear me that when it rains and shines
(When it rains and shines)
It's just a state of mind?
(When it rains and shines)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI

Maybe this rain, which is supposed to last all night and into tomorrow, will wash some of Maryland’s glacier away… 🙂
Though I should point out, perhaps, that this song has absolutely nothing to do with rain and everything to do with an acid trip. Because John Lennon was like that. 😉
