"Rain down here..."

[By Sandra]

There are many "quotes" that I remember from Eric.  Dwayne mentioned a few in his talk at the funeral - such as, "I poofed you out" and "I won the war of 1974!"  Another I remember is actually a quote of Eric quoting Piet Baarda - the owner of the dairy farm where he worked.  He apparently shared his wisdom with Eric about how the weather works, and Eric found it amusing to quote him.  The saying went something like, "Rain down here, snow up there!"  "Snow down here, snow up there."  "Rain up there, rain down here." I just remember Eric laughing about the fact that Piet just went on and on about all the different permutations and the different ways it could work!  :-)
