You always take the weather with you

So my husband is an official groupie of these New Zealand/Aussie guys- the Finn brothers and specifically Neil Finn. He also gets all the stuff they've ever done recorded or live and videos too. This goes for their bands Crowded House and Split Enz as well. I have grown to like them as well, but not in quite the hold up your lighter at a concert way. They have a song that is pretty short and the boys like it alot- it says "Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you". I've decided that has become the Lipscomb theme song. When we take big trips, meteorological things happen.
We first noticed last year when we got caught in the blizzard of the century in Albuquerque, NM. We went to Buffalo in August and they had record heat. And then last week we went to San Diego and they had a record rainstorm. Thankfully, everything seems to be getting less as we go along. The downside is that we seem only to have brought record drought to our homestate. Hmm.
I think if the drought gets much worse in NE Georgia, the city of Atlanta should pay to have several large icebergs towed/barge shipped down the Atlantic coast from Canada and up the Savannah river and then airlifted to Lake Lanier. Maybe that would make their Beluga whales happier....(they have lost two in the Atlanta aquarium this year). Well, its no sillier than some other ideas!
So, we're working on our marketing ploy- we'll bring some meteorological something to your town in exchange for a free vacation. We'll have to work on our slogan, but at least we've got a theme song!
