When Will The Sun Come Back?

Not sure if anyone else in the D.C. area has noticed this, but this has been quite a cloudy summer.     And quite a rainy one as well.    It seems that although we've had a few individually placed beautiful sunny days, on the whole, it's been a pretty bleak summer.

I'm not sure who to blame, but I must say I can't remember the last time we had a stretch of really nice, clear, sunny days...I'm talking more than say 2 days in a row.     It's been very unstable.

This seems to be a pretty recent phenomenon.  While the area has never been as consistently sunny as say, San Diego or Los Angeles, it definitely has seen better days in terms of continual days of sun light.

I don't know about everyone else, but I need someone to blame, so I'm gonna blame Dubya.  

Yup, our current Führer is definitely to blame for the crappy weather.     Remember the day the Supreme Court handed down the verdict that Bush would be our new dictator?    Well, that day it rained in Washington, D.C....it rained hard.     Innauguration day the following year was also a wash out..cold, clammy, rainy.

And ever since the bozo has been behind the desk at the Oval office, we haven't had very many sunny, clear days in succession.

I think God is sending us a message.

All I can do is be like Annie, that ever positive and ebullient orphan, warbling her incessantly sappy but hopeful tune:

Oh, the sun'll come out...tomorrow
So you gotta hang on till tomorrow
Come what may!
 
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya, tomorrow
You're only a day away.
 
In the meantime, November, while not tomorrow, is thankfully, closer than we think.
