Some claim that it only rains on weekends in Maine in the spring. Climatologists (the few that remain) confirm that this is the case. They have determined that the rain in Maine has been scheduled by the Farm Gods to hold off during the weekdays to give farmers time to do their planting and then rain off and on all weekend while the farmers are relaxing and sleeping in. (We hope.) Meanwhile, the tourists who have driven all this way to enjoy the rock-bound coast are unhappy about all that moisture. Ah well.
