For Sale: One umbrella, barely used

Since most of us have forgotten what a drop of rain looks like ( how long has it been?) I pulled out a few of my snippets from droughts past.

I’ll post a few of these today and a few later in the week. Plenty of time for that. I don’t see rain clouds anywhere on the long-range forecast.

It’s so dry that:

• Three flowers were seen fighting over a sprinkler at Tattnall Square Park.
• The end of the work week is no longer known as “Friday.” It’s now officially “Dryday.’’
• The Baptists have started “sprinkling’’ instead of “dunking,’’ and the Methodists have started just handing out washcloths.
• The Macon Music baseball team has signed a free agent pitcher named Don Drysdale IV.
• The Telegraph’s “home and garden” section has been renamed “Drought & About.’’
• “Dusty” has become the most popular name for baby boys in local maternity wards.
