1. To tell the weather, go to your back door and look for the dog. Free of charge If the dog is at the door and he is wet, it's probably raining. But if the dog is standing there really soaking wet, it is probably raining really hard. If the dog's fur looks like it's been rubbed the wrong way, it's probably windy. If the dog has snow on his back, it's probably snowing. Of course, to be able to tell the weather like this, you have to leave the dog outside all the time, especially if you expect bad weather. -- sincerely, The Cat

For why should you die, O house of Israel?’” 2 Pet. 3 ~ 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, is longsuf- fering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
