Memo to God

Re: The weather

God,

I was just wondering whether something was wrong with the sun or something. We'd like to see it. It's one of Your finest creations, and we've been missing it quite a bit lately. Some of the most suspicious among us have begun concocting wild theories that somehow it has gotten broken and replaced with a bank of low wattage fluourescent lights, but You're sorta embarrassed about the whole thing and still tinkering with the set-up, and that's why the light is so low and there has been no break in the cloud cover for what, the last three weeks????

C'mon, big guy. Break out Your squeegee and clean off the sky, wouldja? Because there are some light-starved people down here who are ready to set some pretty big fires or nuclear explosions or something if they don't see the sun soon. Between You and me, they're kinda scary. Really, we don't want them to get out of control.

Can I sign this, too?

I'm ready to build a furniture bonfire in the middle of the living room.

Amen

We could use that squeegee over here too. 20 degrees warmer would be appreciated too. :-)

We're always willing to take extra rain here. But do you guys send it our way? Noooooooooooooooooooo.

Hey, take it up with the Big Guy! I don't work in that department!

We could use the sun up here, too. Especially as clear sky tends to drop the temperature slightly. We've been right on the line of freezing-and-melting for the whole time the clouds have been about. This means slush in day, and fresh ice on the streets at night. A solid freeze that stays frozen is a vast improvement for walking and driving.

(And for me personally, my winter boots are no longer waterproof, and not in a way that can be fixed with a spray, so they're ONLY good when the temperature drops a bit more. Rrrr.)

I know where it is. He's been very absent minded lately, and has left it down the southern hemisphere. We wish He'd take it back as it's getting hott er and hotter down here and is now the hottest summer on record.

So I'm signing the petition too. There should be some kind of time-share arrangement here.

Heh, I'm a freak! I like slush and cloud cover! Don't listen to these people--keep it up!

I have the exact opposite problem. Were I prone to writing such letters, mine would be more like, "Hey, what's with all the sunshine lately? Can we get some rain down here? Some clouds? Please? Pretty please? We're parched down here! These endless sunny days and scary warm January temperatures are starting to freak me out! Signed, Longing for Rain and Clouds"

How 'bout I send you some sunshine, if you send me some clouds? :-)

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to, except I wouldn't know how to arrange the shipping.

Drat. ::tries to imagine packing up a box of sunshine...or a box of clouds::

:)
