Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 15, 2024

Can always fall back on the weather.

I guess the golf game is off, let’s stop at the bar.

Well it monsoon season after all.

Well in my area we have had no rain and high temperatures :-( … Yes the weather is worth talking about ;-)

Sure was hot yesterday. … … Yep.

Great thing about talking about the weather here is it changes so often you never run out of small talk.

Plugger in the yellow shirt – “I remeber awhile back when it rained for forty days and forty night nights.”

Plugger in the red shirt – “Yep, that was a real ground soaker.”

Deadheads know that they are obviously discussing Bob Weir’s first solo album.

‘Wish I had a nickel every time gas price changes.”

Sure enough. :)

Small talk? This appears to be a major exchange of ideas!

Pluggers can sit together in comfortable silence.

Possibly came from way back when weather was a determining and priourity factour in the decisions that support success or failure within the farming/ranching biz that was prevalent in those times.. Still is for those that still work outdoors. No social media, no weather reporters back then, just a consensus from the community, decided over coffeeand at the local eatery..

So, how does looking down at the ground make it “look like rain”?

A little chit-chat never hurt anyone.

Popeye’s favorite conversation starter, “Large weather we’re having.”

you can always tell when someone isn’t really interested in conversation when they bring up the weather…

Smells like rain. I don’t worry about it until it feels like rain.

‘Reminds me of the rain we had last year about this time.’ Yup, quite a rain. Yup. Yup.
