I really think the good people of this forum have had to listen to some sad stuff lately from the main bringers of gloom (myself shamefully included) Jolly, Larry and i have made ourselves clear in some pm's and that's that for the people put on the spot with having to regulate things and whether you agree or not, the sun is still shining on a lot of the world today and if you were lucky enough to be under that sky at some time i'd like to know at what point over the last 24 hours you realised that it was worth making hay for?

Maybe I'll regret doing this, but these posts reminded me of the last stanza to one of my favorite poems, "Casey at the Bat." Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville-- mighty Casey has struck out. If a truce or a peace has been achieved among you, Jolly, and Larry, then truly a ray of sunshine has broken through. Big Al |

I was just confused about the "making hay" part... ![]() Sun shines here 300 + days a year, so it's a good bet I'm always looking at a ray of sunshine (her name's MrsKB) |

KB, coming from a farm in a much cloudier part of the country, I grew up with the old proverb "Make hay while the sun shines" as grasses need sun to make them into hay by drying them when cut. Rain will ruin the grass on the ground, first driving out the nutritive value and then making it rot. Really a farm proverb warning against procrastination and sloth. Big Al |

Well, here the proverb would be to make hay before it is struck by lightning and catches fire. ![]() |

This forum (and others) has always had interesting topics, and of course, some of these topics bring out the passion in people. While I respect all of the people on the forum, there are times when I cringe a bit at the exchanges. I am sure if everyone was able to meet in person, they would realize that despite some philosophical differences, all are good people at heart. Remember, the glass is always half full, not half empty! |
