Folks said that it rained cats and dogs, buckets, bullfrogs, sheets and cows urinating on flat rocks. It was too wet. All in all, whatever kind of weather a person liked, he was bound to get it for at least a day or two. Now people around here talk a lot about the weather. They have some mighty interesting ideas about it too.
Some people allow as how they can accomplish the same thing by washing their car.
A plumber I talked to says he can bring a real downpour by digging a septic system and a couple of the carpenters in these parts claim they can bring on a rain by taking off your roof. If these things are true, the plumbers, carpenters, mowers and car washes must be doing a bang up business in Seattle. These notions sound strange yet people still believe in them. Some folks also believe in astrology, politician s promises, fortune cookies and trickle down economics. Even crazier, some loonies out there actually believe weathermen can predict the weather.
