What do we talk about when we talk about anything? The weather. And how much we hate it. Don't get me wrong. We Massholes are a hardy lot. Throw blizzards at us. No problem. The occasional hurricane? Okay. We've even survived the Molasses Flood. But overcast skies and constant drizzle/rain? No. That we cannot bear.
We don't ask for much. A couple of months of sunshine to make the other 9 months of winter bearable. But we've lost June! And now it's July and it's raining, again. Overcast, again. It is too much.
On the anniversary of our nation's birth is it too much to ask that we, one of the original 13 colonies, get some joy up in this holiday weekend? Soggy fireworks are no good and barbecues are less fun during thunderstorms.
All we are saying is give us some damn sunshine. Stat.
