When asked what the weather’s going to be like for the Fourth of July – a holiday that traditionally includes such things as cookouts and fireworks displays – the response of ‘intermittent thunderstorms’, while possibly accurate, does not generally include the concept of ‘over an inch of rain in a steady downpour that will make it impossible for the grill to get fired up’ – at least, to your target audience.
Just a hint.
Moe
PS: On the plus side, I’m dry, the power’s working and there’s beer, so this is a manageable situation.
Where’s there’s beer, there’s always a plan…even if beer is the plan.
Happy 4th Moe.
Actually, my girlfriend essentially looked at the clouds, said “Begone”, they went and we fired up the grill. Our guests are mostly gone, and now the clouds are coming coming back.
Why, yes, I am being especially nice to her right now. Why do you ask? 🙂
Around here (Norway) if they show you a sun with a cloud in front of it with a raindrop, that means they have no idea, and if you want rain it will be sunny and if you want sun it will rain.
Anyway, there was a Fourth of July parade here…in Norway. Pretty cool, huh?

Indeed. Any good Norwegian holidays that we could celebrate in return? 🙂
Actually, they celebrate May 17 (Constitution day. Not the day of independence from Sweden but the day they ratified their independent constitution) in Fargo, ND with a parade.
Feel free to celebrate yourself by eating really salty, dried sheep and pork with kringle, hotdogs and marching around your backyard with a Norwegian flag.
