I think is funny how we live in this area but we never think about how much of rains we get each month and how the ocean around NY effects the amount of rainfalls we get.
I meant "than." See below.
Yeah! Congrats Brooklyn on the greenest block!
Really. A white-supremacist rally. Good God.
I feel like slapping them. Or, better, disenfranchising them.
I'm no fan of illegal immigration, to be sure, but at this point I'd rather have illegal immigrants that native-born morons.
DROPPETH AS THE GENTLE RAIN
Pigeons flocking above,
Pigeons we all love,
Pigeons flew here to sup.
They did. Don't look up.

Before complaining about all the rain we've been having, it might be a good idea to look around the world and count our blessings. Wildfires are breaking out across several states out west threatening people, animals and crops, and even my family in Germany said it's over 100 degrees in some areas, with devastating effects on the agriculture -- not to mention the recent fire tragedy in Greece.
So instead of being sad, we might try to be a bit grateful because the sun will eventually shine again....Just saying.

@N. Smith
Absolutely agree. My shrubs and the three-year-old northern red oak I planted to take the place of the old tree I lost to Hurricane Sandy are getting all the water they need, and without the usual fluoride and chlorine that is in our water supply. They're all pretty happy. And so, I hope, are our reservoirs.
Love that “Sesame Street” figured into the forecast! And the hair forecast getting a photo!
Is it OK to say happy 50th anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Billy from Brooklyn? (He mentioned it at the comments win the Diary story linked in the “In the News” section!)
Dionne Warwick sings ”Solid Gold” (a romantic version)

(tune of “Solid Gold”)
We found the right gifty
For your number fifty
But it cost a lot, truth be told.
But cheer can get trending
Without any spending
A wish that can’t be bought or sold.
Now you’re gold! For your love in Hudson Valley
Solid gold! With a joy that’s uncontrolled!
Here’s a song ’cause we’re thrifty
To toast to year number fifty
That doesn’t mean you’re old
It means that you’re gold.

“Hair forecast: summertime sadness.”
Tune of “Summertime” (for the captioned hair forecast)
Thunderstorms
And commuting’s not easy
Cab passed by you
With its off-duty sign.
Here’s a hair care tip
As you head to your meeting.
Just take a nice hat, and you’ll be just fine.

Thrilled to see you back at NY Today! But always went looking for you around the city, aka Metropolitan Diary, in a game of “Where’s Freddie?”
@American Girl - That's so sweet of you to say that. I'm still obsessively here, trying not to break my consecutive-posting streak. :) All those years ago, I had a work situation that had me up by 5 a.m., so I always was reading the paper by 6. (Now my work and sleeping schedule is more normal.)
