Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 11, 2023

Lightning the mood

I AGREE!

I spent too many decades in a desert. Give me rain! I have been in a rain soaked State for only two decades. And I still can not get enough! When people (who have been here all their lives) question my sanity… I point out “At least you don’t have to water the plants!” They will nod in agreement.

OKAY! I give, haven’t seen a lot of rain since 1992…I loved it, now it’s getting old!

Let’s hope the pointy hat doesn’t act like a lightning rod.

I presume it’s the lightening that appeals to the Wizard.

He must have sent it to Oklahoma. It’s storming like that here now.

Bring it to Canada! It’ll help put out the 200 out of control wildfires. Although the lightning will be blamed for starting another 100 more wildfires!

When did the Wiz land in North India?!

Send some my way, Wiz!

All together now! ‘Well, I love a rainy night…. You know it makes me feel good!’

There’s always one…

Is the Wiz recharging his skills?

The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike.

The plants must agree too

Only one I know that can appreciate the light show from the outside!

Tell that to pretty much everyone in New England. I’m sure they would like to invite you and the weatherchannel folks up for a visit.

“If the rains come, they run and hide their heads, they might as well be dead, if the rains come”.

Shocking….

unless you are the one cutting the grass

I used to live in Atlanta, hot and humid and at some point I started downloading rain noises just for the “dream” of it, and it was ever so relaxing.

Well, my sunflowers would agree with this sentiment.

It’s a shame we haven’t gotten much rain this year.

Won’t have to water the tomatoes today

I grew up on a farm and feel contentment whenever it rains.

Rain would be good. It’s too hot for me today. I had some running around to do and I thought I would melt into a puddle of goo walking from one store to the next.

It’s sunny today it will rain tomorrow.

The wizard must be non-conducting. Else the lightening would have passed through him.

I’ve seen wildfires and I’ve seen rain

I’ve seen lakes go dry and mudslides time and again

I’ve seen floods as high as the rooftops and then

It always seems to get worse and never end

Those kind of days are the best days

If you don’t want to go out in the rain just turn on the radio and let it play. There’s a killer on the road / His brain is squirmin’ like a toad / Take a long holiday / Let your children play / If you give this man a ride / Sweet memory will die / Killer on the road, yeah

The older I get, the more I love big thunderstorms. Well, any rain actually. Especially here in the drought-stricken West.

I have to agree with the Wizard on this one.
