Dear James Barron,

Are you kidding me? You wrote an entire article, 867 words, and had three contributing reporters to write about the rain? Way to go, Captain Obvious.

Who is Karen Gibbs and why do we care that her suede boots were ruined from the rain? Why do we need to know that a certain 14-year-old poodle, Godiva, was “on strike because of the rain”, according to her owner, Mr. Marsh?

Is the fact that Marcy Brudy and her son, Marlon, went to the Fulton Mall to find rain-shoes groundbreaking news?

I am aware that it’s been raining out in the New York City area for several days. Guess what? It’s not raining anymore – and today I slept in and then took the PATH train to the A train and met a friend for a cup of tea at the Starbucks on 60th and Broadway.

Sincerely,

Bored and Confused.
