With all the entertainment that is directed at you with streaming channels, there must be millions of movies and TV series, and documentary specials and sports to distract you. It is like one of those good old Spring deluges that I remember so well from back in the forties and fifties there in Clay County, where you tried to make it to the end of the cotton row before the rain hit and got soaked before you could get to the house.
