rainy days
I really don’t understand people that say they like the rain. What is there to like about getting cold and wet one little drop at a time? Last time I checked, this was a form of torture attributed to the Chinese. The Chinese must really hate the rain.
The problem is that there’s nothing special to do when it rains. You can’t make rainmen or have a rainball fight. Why is it that the only thing special you can do with rain is torture people? Someone needs to devise fun stuff to do when it rains. Come on, there’s fun stuff to do when it gets windy, which has to be one of the most obscure kinds of weather. It should be a piece of cake to come up with something cool to do when it’s rainy out.
I have a children’s game for rainy weather. It’s called “fill the cup”. The kids get special “fill the cup ™” cups that are all the same size with hash marks on them for measuring. They go outside and mom starts the game with the offical “fill the cup ™” timer. It’s a race to see who can fill their cup with the most rain before the time is up. I’m happy to announce the official “fill the cup ™” funnel attachment for a competetive advantage.

C’mon Eli, what kind of fun stuff have you ever done when it gets windy? I prefer the rain over the foggy/overcase weather that you wrote about a couple of months ago. At least when it rains you have a good excuse not to go outside. Have you ever tried to play fill the cup ™ in foggy weather?

I’ve never done anything fun in windy weather. But there are plenty of other people who have. These would be people who like windsurfing, kite flying, kite surfing, and kite skiing.
You need the special sponge attachment to play fill the cup ™ in the fog. $8.95 if you act now.
