I'm in favor of praying for rain, but somebody overdid it last Wednesday night when water came over the curb in front of Bimbo's. It was like having a captive audience for Eddie. Nobody could go home. Baby, it was wet outside! Not so dry inside either. On Thursday, Fran Olsen asked Rotary members to say a silent prayer for fair and dry weather during Fiesta Days. At times I have my doubts about that being much of a praying group. Hope Fran asked others. (H.D. OLD SAYING: "He's a self made man in love with his maker".
