I washed, waxed and vacuumed out my car on Tuesday. Sorry. You have to admit, we needed to fill the aquifers, though. ---

OK, now I know the northeast has been really dry, but we’re going to be at **Dave and Ginger’s** on Saturday, and the weather must be lovely. So you and your kind better just quit doing stuff that might cause rain. Don’t make me scold you!! ---

Well, you owe Maryland a great big apology, because you [knocked down the Wye Oak](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8861-2002Jun6.html). ---

Thanks Dave, the pool was getting low. However, it’s really vital you don’t do it again late next week. My daughter’s birthday party must be held outside. ---

Man, I feel terrible about the oak tree. Maryland – sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. And I’ll do my best re: Dave and Gingy. I like both of them a whole lot, so I don’t wanna wreck that. And **Why A Duckling’s** party…well, all I have planned for late next week is a tooth cleaning and getting a tattoo. Um, I’m probably gonna mow the lawn maybe this Saturday or Sunday. Be prepared for locust swarms. ---

That’s nothin’. I can cause a heat wave simply by planning and purchasing the ingredients for a pot roast dinner. ---

I **love** northeastern droughts…they make for alot less _rained-out_ weekends. Besides, we always seem to make it up eventually before the real rationing kicks in. ---

All you folks who don’t want more rain next week, I got you covered. I’ll just spread some grass seed on the bare spots on my lawn. That usually guarantees weeks without a drop of moisture. ---

I like thunderstorms, too, **Opal**. Really loud, bangy, rumbly ones that shake the windows and stuff. Cool! My son, though, is scared to death of thunder. Not lightning, just thunder. So he kinda takes the enjoyment out of them for me, especially if it’s in the middle of the night.
