Dear Auntie Pink,
It's been raining for days now. I don't think it's been 40 days and 40 nights, but it's getting close and I forgot to build an Ark. I don't even live in Seattle. The other day, I even saw a guy walking a fish. I'd use my super powers to save the day, or at least myself, but unfortunately, when Morpheus gave me a choice, I took the blue pill and apparently now I don't have any powers.
I haven't been able to mow the lawn either, and with all the rain, the grass has been growing out of control. I think it may have even evolved into a sentient being and has been plotting to take over my castle and overthrow me.
I guess it wouldn't be that bad if I wasn't scared of water. I know. I know. Who's scared of water, right? But it all started when I was a kid and my brother and I were fighting in the pool. Mom came out and told us if we couldn't behave and get along, then we'd have to divide the pool and stay on our respective half. My brother picked the top half................ I haven't been the same since.
I heard our president has been meeting with recent military cadet grads and explained to them that the single greatest threat we face today is climate change. In light of the president directing our troops towards fighting the weather, I thought that maybe I'd join the service and learn how, myself. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get to a recruiting office since I don't have a boat handy. Also, it's not likely I'd graduate before the rain destroys the planet.
Besides, with the recent admission by the military that HAARP really is a weather weapon, and not just a conspiracy theory by crazies in tinfoil hats, I'm afraid the military might be the villain who sent all the rain. I think they stole it from California.
I decided, therefore, to make an attack on the HAARP facilities, but Alaska's pretty far away and again, I'm short on boats. Also, I really, really, REALLY hate the cold weather. I haven't had the best of luck in snowy areas.
Once, my car broke down on the side of the road in St. Louis. I called a tow truck and they said they couldn't get to it till the next day. Unfortunately, the snow plow trucks came by and buried my car, making it impossible to find. So I didn't get it back till spring came and melted away the snow.
Then when I was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I was there for a week when the sun finally poked its head out. It wouldn't have been so bad in my mind if it wasn't for the locals all coming outside and taking pictures of the sun. I realized I had to get out of there and fast if seeing the sun was something that no one there really got to see often. I can't live without the sun. And I hear Alaska has long periods without any sunlight, depending on the tilt of the Earth's axis at the time.
It's really starting to look like Doomsday outside though and I'm not sure what to do. I mean, that guy killed Superman.
On a lighter note, before all the rain started, I did manage to pass Law School. I had to go to the store and it was on my left. I passed it again on my right side on the way back. I think they should put my name on the building. After all, I did pay a lot of their graduate's student loans over the years.
Back to the topic though, can you help me stop the rain before everything floats away? In case it's the apocalypse, I think I'm going to really miss toilet paper and I didn't stock up on an end of the world supply. If the answer is no, could you maybe mail me a red pill so I can get my powers back?
Your's till the view out my windows include fishes,
Wet Willy
