Last Thursday night we were waiting to watch The Tommy Bartlett Water Show, when the rain broke out! Those of us in the “premium” seats had to duck for cover under the roof covering the lower price seats!
Of course, it was a water show, so the show did go on as planned although delayed a bit until the wind died down…
@neverenoughgold: So, you paid for a water show, and you got more than your money’s worth. Water you complaining about?Sounds like you’re vacationing at the Wisconsin Dells….. one of those places where you can never have enough gold.

Calvin shouldn’t condemn the rain. California and Melbourne need it. Just send it there!

If Mom gets wind of this, Calvin will be in trouble.

I prefer the heavy rain over the hot weather.
A lot cooler and comfortable.

@neverenoughgold: I was at the Dells just a few years ago, but I didn’t see you there. I highly recommend the chocolate fudge.
