IF THE RAIN EVER DOES STOP......

IF THERE IS AN UPSIDE TO THE TORRENTS OF RAIN THAT SEEM TO BEFALL US EVERY WEEKEND, IT IS THAT I HAVE TONS OF INVENTORY. NO MONEY, JUST INVENTORY. BUT BEING A CHILD OF THE '60's, ALFRED E. NEWMAN (MAD MAGAZINE) WAS MY HERO--WHAT? ME WORRY! A GOOD MOTTO TO LIVE BY. THERE AIN'T NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THE WEATHER EXCEPT STAY DRY OR GET WET. I CHOOSE TO STAY DRY. IT IS PROBABLY A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. WHEN DRY WEATHER DOES SET IN, THERE WON'T BE TIME TO PREP ALL THE CHAIRS AND GLIDERS THAT ARE SURE TO BE IN DEMAND AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN THE PAST. IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR A CERTAIN PATTERN OR STYLE, CALL OR E-MAIL, AS RARE ONES GO FAST.
TO PROVE MY POINT, I JUST PICKED UP A STAR-BURST 3 SEATER GLIDER SATURDAY AND RECEIVED AN E-MAIL INQUIRING ABOUT THAT SAME PATTERN MONDAY. THAT GUY LIVES IN RALEIGH, NC. AND HAS ALREADY CLAIMED 1st DIBS ON IT WHEN I GET IT RESTORED. HE SAID HE HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR A LONG TIME AND JUST GOT LUCKY FINDING ME. LUCK OR KARMA, YOU BE THE JUDGE.

I ALSO WENT TO VIRGINIA/HIGHLANDS SATURDAY AND HAD ALL THE MAKINGS OF HAVING ANOTHER WONDERFUL SHOW THERE WHEN THE RAIN GODS UNLEASHED A FLOOD THAT HADN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE NOAH! NOTHING SAYS COMMITMENT LIKE LOADING IN ANKLE DEEP WATER, IN A BLINDING RAIN. NOT AS MUCH FUN A BEING A POLITICIAN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE ABOUT IT.
SO MUCH FOR CRYING, BETTER TIMES ARE A COMIN'. SCHOOL WILL BE OUT FOR THE SUMMER THIS FRIDAY AND POSSIBILITIES FOR TRAVEL ARE JUST BEING PLANNED. STAY POSTED FOR MY SEMI-INTERESTING TRAVEL BLOGS.
