Tea Leaves

tea leaves fortune telling weather rain ride

I once read something about using tea leaves in fortune-telling; and if they’re good at reading fortunes, maybe they can predict the weather. Or maybe a used bag from green tea will work?

Can these tea bags tell fortunes?

The online forecast shows rain chances tonight and tomorrow; and I’d like to know whether it’s really going to rain; how hard it will rain; and for how long. More rain is in the forecast for Thursday night and Friday morning; and there’s a chance of rain on Saturday. I hope it doesn’t rain Saturday, because I need to get to the salvage store; and I want to take the trailer this time. I hope it won’t be too blustery!

I don’t need to buy tea leaves; but I want to look for almond milk; hummus; and, of course, items suitable for ride food. I’m sure I’ll get more canned goods, too; and if they have those mega-packs of bath tissue, why not stock up some more? IF it isn’t raining, that is; the trailer doesn’t do well at keeping the rain out; and wet bath tissue, of course, is useless.

Back to the forecast. The catch with online forecasts is that I get mixed messages. One site that I checked says, rain and T-storms; and another takes it up a notch by saying that some of the storms could be severe. Either way, it looks like tomorrow morning’s ride will be a wet one; and that’s if I can ride at all. Riding in a T-storm isn’t the wisest course of action; and I might have to set up the trainer.

This uncertainly drives me crazy. Maybe I should fix myself some of that Tetley®; and maybe the tea leaves can put my mind at peace.
