Likelihood of More Rain

 It’s raining now, cold and miserable. How much more rain are we going to get? That’s a difficult question to answer. Between now and when? Lots though is probably the answer whatever the meant duration. Though maybe you’re sat somewhere with an entirely different kind of climate and you’re thinking What rubbish! We hardly get any rain - and maybe that’s the problem when relative truths try to become universal. The leap is too big for them. But I wasn’t in fairness concerning myself with anything half so deep. I was simply taking about the likelihood here of lots of rain, and given where I am and our general weather, that can’t have been too controversial. Though it does seem there’s some very sensitive people out there and maybe yes this presumption about rain might offend them deeply, for what reason I’ve no idea, maybe it contravenes some theory or other. ‘Who put you in place to make these presumptions about the future?! Have you got some kind of time-machine?! Are you a magician?! You are usurping my rights! Shut him up!’ Screeches and fury follow. 

And who knows, maybe they have a point. It’s hard to keep up with developments on those fronts - where we’ve all been progressing to and what we now think about all kinds of things. I’ve maybe been swimming in a different current. And even that’s probably offensive - who the hell do I think I am with this ‘swimming in a different current.’ ‘It is being interpreted that you are declaring yourself superior to the people. This is what the Nazis did.’ And then I am shut legitimately up. You might then even get someone like that ruling sage at Twitter explaining that it is yes an unfortunate and perhaps even dangerous measure, but sadly silencing such a person is entirely necessary. He might even become quite verbose on the matter.  Not admittedly eloquent but at least verbose. Plenty words would pour forth. Shortly afterwards he posts a photo of the delightful coffee he has just been served in some island paradise ... well not a coffee you understand but some evolved variant on coffee - again I’ve not quite been keeping up. 

And so what can you do beneath the words of such human oracles but bow down. They are the tip of the soaring arrowheads of human progress flying through and penetrating space. Where will they land?
