party? We'll see
I'm supposed to go down to the catfish manor today for some fishing, some shooting and a nice low-country boil. I packed a bunch of guns and ammo yesterday, and I'm taking some of my moonshine home-made wine to give away.
There's only one small problem. I got out of bed at 7:30 this morning to the sound of pouring rain, and it hasn't stopped yet. A malignant tropical low-pressure system appeared off the coast during the night and it's tossing bands of rain inland now.
The rain may fall all day.
I'm going down to see Cat anyway, but the weather may put a damper on some of the planned activities. I ain't gonna fish in the rain, but I WILL shoot up some ammo between rainstorms if I get the chance. Besides, Cat has a nice covered and sceened back porch, and we can party just fine there if we have to.
Goddam weather. We need the rain, but Mother Nature COULD have waited until tomorrow to deliver it.
Hey, at least you don't live in Southern FL. Every time I inhale, I smell mold.
And, I see McMansions popping up all over the block I live on. They're ugly, too.
What I don't understand, is why somebody with 1.5 Megabucks to spend on a house, spends it on a house in this benighted place, and a house which is, to boot, an ugly pretentious vulgar-ostentatious Taj which would appeal only to, well, Italians?
