I just happened to catch this one on the local HS sports reports tonight:
QB Courtland Pass of the Pontotoc (MS) Warriors.

I was changing channels from a station whose local news I don't watch when I saw a talking head whose name flashed across the screen: Mercy Rain.

We could use a mercy rain out here. One snow so far, and it's been well over the normal temperatures.
Setting up for real bad fire possibilities if we don't get some precipitation.
