Looks like rain today, MOM. You might want to move your chair and wicker table further back from the edge of the porch or your newspaper and paperback mystery might get wet from the splash off of the rail.

Is Mom related to my wife? I'm perpetually rescuing her books, mail, cell phone and such from our porch just before the rains commence. I, on the other hand, never leave anything that could be damaged by rain in the porch.
