We've had 33 days of rain since May 1, when 20 days is closer to average, according to the National Weather Service Forecast Office.<br /><br />Still, Tulsa has had over 15 inches of rain since May 1. That makes this rainy season the sixth wettest ever.<br /><br />Yuck. A big group of Tulsans and I planned to head to Philbrook after work Friday to catch a showing of <a href="http://www.philbrook.org/education/classes/specialevents.cfm">Breakfast at Tiffany's on the lawn</a>. I even considered making a huge basket of fried chicken. Unfortunately, the event is <a href="http://kotv.com/weather/">likely to be rained out</a> - unless "rain likely" and "60%" is local TV news talk for partly cloudy. We shall see. If the sun doth shine, come join us! We'll be in the north garden.<br /><br />You know...maybe gray skies aren't always so bad after all:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/RoLpxz2Rx6I/AAAAAAAAAG4/RsgpILbTp8k/s1600-h/tulsaskyline.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZVufRlMtzM/RoLpxz2Rx6I/AAAAAAAAAG4/RsgpILbTp8k/s400/tulsaskyline.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080880371568068514" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >From the roof of Utica Place, the mixed-use development just south of Utica Square.
