WEATHER ROCK

In yesterday’s Journal entry I mentioned that I have a Weather Rock. It was made and given to me by my other smart brother. I thought I better explain what a Weather Rock is and how it works. It is a rock about 5-6 inches in diameter attached to a string or thin wire and hanging about 12-16 inches from the top of a triangle of wooden or metal legs each about 36 inches long. To know the weather is to simply look out in your yard view the hanging Weather Rock on the tripod:

If the rock is wet, it’s raining.
If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing.
If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining.
If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.
If the rock is difficult to see, it is foggy.
If the rock is white, it is snowing.
If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost.
If the ice is thick, it’s a heavy frost.
If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake.
If the rock is under water, there is a flood.
If the rock is warm, it is sunny.
If the rock is missing, there was a tornado.
If the rock is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane.
If the rock can be felt but not seen, it is nighttime.
If the rock has white splats on it, watch out for birds.
If there are two rocks, stop drinking, you are drunk.

If the rock is glowing red, you are under nuclear attack I might add.

“When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” Jesus
