   On a less serious note, that reminds me of the song "O give me a home   
   where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play.  Where   
   never is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all   
   day."  I like the last part of that verse because it doesn't suggest   
   that the skies must remain cloudless all day, but only that the skies   
   will hopefully not remain cloudy all day long.
