"All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury
"It had been raining for seven years; thousands upon thousands of days compounded and filled from one end to the other with rain, with the drum and gush of water, with the sweet crystal fall of showers and the concussion of storms so heavy they were tidal waves come over the islands."
Bradbury's short story, "All Summer in a Day," seems a good comparison to the month of October here in Mpls. I saw a TV version of the story on PBS when I was in 4th or 5th grade. It made such an impression on me that I can still vividly remember some of the scenes even now. This past Saturday must have been our one day of sunshine. I just hope it doesn't rain for the next seven years....

So, was I the kid trapped in the Locker? Well actually, although the wedding took up some of the afternoon, I *did* still get to enjoy the dazzling sunshine yesterday. Unlike the poor kid in the Bradbury story.
