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<\/i> appropriate:<\/p>\n

\nIf the rain comes they run and hide their heads
\nThey might as well be dead
\nIf the rain comes, if the rain comes<\/p>\n

When the sun shines they slip into the shade
\n(When the sun shines down)
\nAnd sip their lemonade
\n(When the sun shines down)
\nWhen the sun shines, when the sun shines<\/p>\n

Rain, I don't mind
\nShine, the weather's fine<\/p>\n

I can show you that when it starts to rain
\n(When the rain comes down)
\nEverything's the same
\n(When the rain comes down)
\nI can show you, I can show you<\/p>\n

Rain, I don't mind
\nShine, the weather's fine<\/p>\n

Can you hear me that when it rains and shines
\n(When it rains and shines)
\nIt's just a state of mind?
\n(When it rains and shines)
\nCan you hear me, can you hear me?<\/p>\n

Maybe this rain, which is supposed to last all night and into tomorrow, will wash some of Maryland’s glacier away… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

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. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
