It’s raining. Everybody who was indoors this weekend probably said, “We sure need it,” cause that’s what everyone says when it rains.
But you know who didn’t say that?
Brides who had planned an outdoor wedding and had to go to their “plan B.” Nine months ago they were probably choosing the beautiful park site and asked the person in charge, “What do we do if it rains?” The person said, “Oh, we have a covered building over there. No big deal.” And of course the bride thought, “Oh, good. I have a back-up plan.”
But then the day comes and it rains and everybody’s crammed in this tiny, gross shed. When it comes time to do the toast the best man says, “How ‘bout this rain? We sure need it.”
And who else didn't say that?
Campers. That was us this weekend. I was on assignment at Possum Kingdom lake so we decided that would be a good excuse to take our annual camping trip with the Loyds.
This was last year:

Poor Loyds. Their “Embassy Suites” tent leaked! Our “Motel 6” didn’t do much better. It’s a really gross feeling to be wet and cold for almost 24 hours.
And did I mention my assignment was to write about water sports? We did get in a quick boat trip before it poured:

Possum Kingdom is beautiful and I recommend it to all campers and water-sports lovers. But if you’re gonna go when it rains, get yourself a plan b.
Or at least a tent that doesn't leak.

that sucks. the only thing worse than camping in the rain is camping when it is 90 degrees, like I did last NOVEMBER!!!! I was actually in a wedding this weekend, but it was scheduled to be in side, so no rain comments.
Yes, if it's hot you sweat so I guess either way, you're soaked.
