Straw Hat & California Rain

During the recent period of heavy rain, a local family was sitting on their roof watching the water which was well over five feet deep outside (and inside) their house.

The son happened to notice a nice straw hat as it went down stream."Oh dear," he thought, "I'll bet the person who lost that hat is sorry now!"

After the hat had floated out of sight around the corner of the house, the boy kept watching the river. Suddenly, much to his surprise, here comes the hat, floating upstream, against the current! This was obviously very strange, so the lad kept his eye on it. It floated upstream and around the other corner of the house... and came floating back down again.

After a while, it came back upstream yet again, rounding the corner of the house.

Finally, the boy could stand it no longer and pointed out the hat to his mother, asking her whatever could cause such a sight.

His mother replied, "Oh, that's just your grandfather. He said come Hell or high water, he was going to mow the lawn today."
