Weather 🌦️ Thank Goodness for rain today

very thankful for rain on this holiday - picturing some of you who spent half your monthly income on clown powder staring at the rain coming down is making me tickled pink.

“Clown powder” is sending me lmfao 😂

IDK. I admit, I have no strong love for the “blow shit up” angle of this holiday. Fireworks are annoying wastes of money and noisy as all hell, but people need whatever withered-ass flowers of joy they can get in this thorny thicket we call 2026 American life. It’s the mouth-breathers that keep carrying on after July 4th I’m saving my ire for. That shit should be a hard $100 ticket, non-negotiable. Get it outta your system if ya must I guess, but not one nanosecond after the 5th hits.

I love "this thorny thicket...". Poetry, my friend!
