Things I Learned from British Folk Ballads
by Jim Macdonald
Don't ignore warnings. If someone tells you to beware of Long Lankin, friggin' beware of him. If someone tells you not to go by Carterhaugh, stay away. Same goes for your mother asking you not to go out hunting on a particular day. Portents about weather, particularly when delivered by an old sailor who is not currently chatting up a country maid, are always worth heeding.

Rainy Thursday
Apr. 10th, 2008 08:49 pmNot raining in Pittsburgh, tho, where the Cubs just completed a three-game sweep of the Pirates. They've won 5 in a row and are now 6-3 for the very young season.
I shall enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
Rained all day. My attempt to stop the garage roof leak didn't work--a coworker is coming over tomorrow to apply a temporary patch. I have calls out to three roofers. No callbacks yet.
Rumors of sunny 70s next week. I'll believe it when I see it.
Snow showers possible on Saturday. That, I believe.
The tomato seeds arrived today, as did the indoor starter planter. Another project for the weekend, to add to puppy vet visits and the purchase of sump pumps.
