Uh-Oh . . .

This can't be good.

Today is our annual Summer Reading Kickoff bigbash, which begins at 5 p.m. this afternoon.  It is now 1:48 p.m. (synchronize your watches, minions).  Look at that pouring rain!

But wait!  Casey at the Bat and Crafty Gal have a backup plan!  We can still do lots of fun stuff inside the Library, even if it's raining felines and slobberdogs outside.

 Crafty Gal gets the fun going (or getting ready, anyway)

Casey at the Bat reviews her strategies in case of inclement weather

So there's absolutely no reason why you should miss our bigbash this evening.  Come on over to the Library if you live 'round these parts.  No amount of rain could dampen the great times we'll be having.

But just in case . . .

P.S.  Want to read my blog post about cat umbrellas and rain gear?  Sure you do.  I've also got one about slobberdogs.

P.P.S.  All this rain reminded moi of "Here Comes the Rain Again," by Eurythmics, from the LP Touch (1983).  It was also released as a single (1984).  Here's the group's music video.

P.P.P.S.  Naturally, this weather we're having posed the obvious question, "Who'll Stop the Rain?" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, from the LP Cosmo's Factory (1970).

P.P.P.P.S.  Off the top of my head, I can think of at least three Bob Dylan songs that have rain in the title, but none is actually about the weather, if I remember rightly.  Check out the official Bob Dylan website for great stuff about this legendary folk singer-songwriter.

P.P.P.P.P.S.  It's now 2:10 p.m., and the SUN IS PEEKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS!  We'll beat this rain yet!

P.P.P.P.P.P.S.  Let's all sing George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun," by the Beatles, from the album Abbey Road (1969).  Was this George's only Beatles "double-A side" single release (b/w "Something")?
