We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
William Ralph Inge (1860-1954)

Raindrops keep falling on my head.... (don't forget the music)


Driving, forever driving....or at least it seems that way. And all along the way we have enjoyed blue skies and a bit more heat than is comfortable. But finally in New Brunswick, the weather changed and we seemed to be dodging raindrops, and sometimes not! At one point near a little hamlet called Deerville, we got caught in a downpour that slowed all the traffic down to a crawl. Some folks pulled over to the side of the road entirely, hoping to wait it out because the visibility was so bad. We were in behind a big rig and could follow his tail lights. Finally drove out of it and soon passed an oncoming motorcyclist. "Don't go on, go back, go back!", I cried. But unfortunately for him, he didn't hear me. I can only imagine how wet he got.

But in the heat of summer, the fields and forests all around were green and lush and I guess rain like that is the reason why. Maybe we will have to get out our umbrellas after this move.
