Defying the laws of nature

As of today, global warming and weather pattern disruptions notwithstanding, I have effectively defied a few laws of nature.

One week ago I washed my car. It needed the cleaning. The past month was nothing but steady, daily rain, which wreaks havoc on my car washing schedule.

Alright, it’s not much of a schedule. I can tell my car needs a wash when I park it on the street and passersby walk to the other side of the street to avoid it. That’s dirty.

When I wash my car, by hand or car wash, two things happen. The first is that it begins to rain just as I finish drying the car. The second is that it will, without fail, rain on my car sometime within the first 24 hours after the wash.

Should I leave my car in the parking stall in our condominium, the rain will delay until the first 24 hours after driving the car on public streets or highways. I know there’s a name for that law of nature but it escapes me at the moment?

Why? Because global warming is impacting our weather. Why? How? I don’t know why, but everyone says so, therefore it must be true. How? Easy. It’s been seven days and my car hasn’t been rained on. Yet.

If that’s not defying a law or two of nature, I don’t know what is.
