     A man wants to control the weather.

Image (c) 2009, by Karla Dorman.

I am tired of having to deal with the weather.  The dang weather forecasters are never right: more often than not, they're wrong, wrong, WRONG!!

Take today, for instance.  THEY said, sunny and warm.  REALLY?!?  Raining to beat the band, and it's cold, too.

Maybe I can come up with a way to control the weather to my satisfaction.  Make it rain when I want it to rain, or make it sunny whenever I need it to be sunny.  Kid wants a snow day?  Instant blizzard.  People weary of Winter?  Make it Summer.  Too hot?  Bring Fall in a few months early.

Hot.  Warm.  Cold.  Cool.  Wet.  Dry!  

People I don't like?  Bury 'em under a storm of the century. 

I might surprise some people with my forecasts, but hell, I don't care.  I'm tired of the weather not being what I want it to be.  

Won't divulge my secret just yet, but the idea came into being after yet another rainy day.  Guess that's to be expected here in Washington State.  

I say it's time for a change.  

I am tired of dealing with grass that's growing like gangbusters.  Having to mow the lawn (it seems) every other day.  Having to change my golf or vacation plans just because the rain decided to move back in.  AGAIN.

And why does it always have to rain on my day off?!??

I do know one thing: Ma Nature will think twice when she decides to fool around with me!

~To be continued.~
