Weather Control

Why is it, when it comes a big rain storm, that's the exact time, your windshield wiper blades tear up? Me and mom decided to go to Commerce shopping today. I suggested, we drive her car (save my gas!) and I would drive. Of course we live in the "fog" capitol of the world, Baldwin. I turn on the wipers and the one on the right swishes up with a long tail trailing along. Ok, it's ok, just get down the mountain a little piece and we'll be out of the fog, then I won't need these wipers. WRONG.........it poured. Do you know, there is nowhere to buy wiper blades between Baldwin and Bank's Crossing! Then once we get to the outlet mall, it does quit raining, thankfully. We shopped awhile, although we avoided Kirkland's, cause we both new better than to go in there, checking accounts would be emptied, not a good thing. I just love that store! Shopping always works up a good appetite, Cracker Barrel here we come! Wouldn't you know, we should have made a break for home, instead of eating, while it wasn't raining any more. We've just finished eating and paid the bill......BOOM.....it starts pouring, wind blowing like it was March, mega storm, and we have a torn wiper blade. I know, your thinking why didn't you get wiper blades as soon as you got there. If, your a woman, you know why, there's better things to shop for. We made a run for the car, jump in soaking wet and fire up that torn wiper blade (Ha!). Then, we can't think of one auto parts place there at Bank's Crossing, we'll just try to limp home, I guess. Suddenly I see Pritchett Tire, maybe they have wiper blades, they do!!! They pull us into their garage and put us on some new blades, we're in business now. But, the thing about getting new wiper blades........now the rain stops and out comes the sun! That's all it took to clear the weather up, I've got to let the weatherman in on this little secret, on how to control the weather!
Later!
