1. You are referring to the need for more rain are you?

I don't see any forecast for us, but maybe late summer if the El Niño blossoms.

2. No. Just a great piece. We see so much doom and gloom at times, I like this snip.

So well done, musically and visually.

9. Yeah, I'm so old I remember seeing the movie when it

first was released. My mom loved musicals. Gene Kelly was so talented.

4. Love when he dances on the walls and ceiling.

5. I like the lampost piece best. It's like a thumbsup to the whole scene.

6. That too!

7. When he runs the umbrella across the grate - that's a musical bit. Giving it to a woman passing by..

She opens it and walks past the cop who's been in and out of the scenes. And a brief wave from the lead as he walks off. A great coda.

I think it's a classic piece of stuff.

8. I liked Gene Kelly a lot.

Felt terrible when he died. Great movie, great scene.
