While on the subject of proverbial - it's raining cats and dogs with snowfall expected on the mountains across the way. For us, that means very chilly weather! It's all relative. We've had the highest winter rainfall in 40 years so far. Dams are full which is saving us from too many power outages (City of Cape Town's hydro electric power plan in action) - the rest of the country is in full load shedding swing.

^not a patch on Mr Foucault. I'm in lyrics mode at the moment ... this one almost made into my 50 ...
"Miles from the Lightning"
Darkness on the fenceposts
And a whistle from a train
Water in the corn rows
And a window to the rain
Count your miles from the lightning
Lay your money down
Count your blessings against the thunder
Take the thorns out of your crown
Well it's no more highway rolling
No more sundown ride
No more Carolina
No more great divide
The words to keep from dying
There ain't a man can find
But the words to keep on living
Is what you left behind
Songs on painted shadows
Bleed on broken roads
Paved from here to heaven
With anything but gold
And anything but simple
It always was your kind
From the straight and narrow running
Along the straightest line
Darkness on the fenceposts
And a whistle from a train
Water in the corn rows
And a window to the rain
Count your miles from the lightning
Rest your tired eyes
Count your blessings against the thunder
Kiss the years goodbye
