Fun Monday - If I ruled

Our Hostess for this week's Fun Monday is Mommy Wisdom and her assignment is this:

If you were ruler for a day/week/month/year (your choice on the time) you would...

ex...make coffee free to all citizens. Or you'd abolish the penny. You may also specify if you're ruler of the world or just your country. Have fun with it; be creative.

If you like to dress up, you may also choose to take pictures of yourself in your "ruler" outfit(s) and post them up with your entry.

OK, well, no dressing up because it's just too damned hot for dressing up.

Now, Mommy Wisdom doesn't specify what it is we would be ruler of...if we were ruler...and that makes a difference to what you would change doesn't it? So, putting aside the things that would be taken as read - ie redistribution of wealth, end of starvation, wars, cruelty to animals/children etc etc - I am going big time.

I am going to rule the universe. Because I rock. Is that OK with you? Good.

Let's start with the weather shall we? It's either been hissing it down or so hot you lay in a pool of sweaty lethargy (you'll have that picture in your mind all day now!). So I am going to tell, no, make that order (because I rule) the weather to shake it's tail feathers a little and give us perfectly balmy sunny days with a cooling breeze and scudding clouds and just the right temperature. And gentle rain during the night. Unless you're in the vicinity of one of the poles. Then you're just going to have to live with snow and ice I'm afraid. Can't have you all melting and flooding the rest of the planet.

OK. Night skies. Clear night skies with no interference from street lighting so we can all see the stars in all their glory.

Travel - we are all going to be born with the ability to transport ourselves to wherever we want to go. A la Star Trek. Because that's cool.

Interplanetary travel? No problem. Oh yes, travelling my universe will be a piece of cake in our big star ships that get you from A to B with no traffic jams. Do you get traffic jams in space...I don't think so! Hah!

Anyway, that'll do for a start. I'm still new to this ruling thing so I'll just keep making it up as I go along if that's OK with you.

  1. Oh I love the transport idea! Yes it is very cool!

    As for the weather! I love the idea, but if it rains at night, how will we see those stars? (Oh technicalities I know! But just thought I'd ask!)

  3. I agree with you 100% on no more sweaty lethargy (something I am quite familiar with and one of the reasons I hate summer).

    I was thinking the other day that if we'd hurry up and develop some transporters, we wouldn't be having this energy crisis now!!!

    I'll vote for you!

  7. Where do I sign up to be one of your loyal subjects?

  8. Right here Swampy. And, as a loyal subject, you get your very own planet to rule. Which one would you like?

  9. Agreed AOJ! Whatever happened to the nice middle of the road balmy weather? Even in spring it quits raining and turns 90 degrees before the spring bulbs even quit blooming. Make it stop Weather Ruler!

    I'd like to pre-book one of your travel packages but I just want to get over to your side of the pond in a hurry instead of flying for 12 hours.

  14. That is indeed okay with me. Right now, I am getting ready to go to Chins to stand on the Great Wall. The weather is already in effect here so thanks; you do fast work as ruler of the universe.

  15. I like you're weather idea although I may need to move closer to the poles as I like snow. :)

  17. I'd miss the inclement stuff, tho...I like puddles, and snow, and wind whistling thru the eaves.

  18. Oh, hurray! Camelot weather!

    I love the idea of Camelot weather. The nuns used to tell us that "horses sweat, men perspire, and ladies glow". I am tired of "glow" running down my face into my eyes!
