When Did This Rain Get Here?

I just wanted to drop my little dog Scamper off at the house so he wouldn’t have to wait in the car while I did some more chores.

When I pulled to the curb there was Rana changing the wheels on our rolling gate. I stopped to lend a hand when I got a text message from Laurie Provost.

Bobby Diamond of “Fury” fame, a boyhood idol of mine along with Lee Aaker from RinTin Tin, had passed away at age 75. We knew he’d been ill for some time but it still hurt.
We left the gate repair on hold while we went inside to check the news, and watch a bit of a Jewel concert. Another text message from Laurie got us moving again, but when Rana went out the front door she literally screamed.

“It’s raining!”

Bad news and sudden showers go hand in hand. Thought you should know.

Rest in peace. (I couldn't remember what shows he was in.)

Fury
Diamond's character, Joey, had run afoul of the law, befriended a handsome wild black stallion, and lived on the Broken Wheel Ranch in California with his widowed and adopted father, Jim Newton, portrayed by Peter Graves, later known for his role on Mission: Impossible. Newton's wife and son had been killed by a drunk driver.[2]
Joey called Jim by his first name but in time looked upon him as a father. Character actor William Fawcett played the housekeeper and top ranch hand, Pete Wilkey.[3] Fawcett was the veteran of many westerns on both television and in motion pictures.
Cast as friends of Joey are Roger Mobley as Homer "Packy" Lambert, who appeared in forty-one episodes from 1958 to 1960, and Jimmy Baird (born 1945) as Rodney "Pee Wee" Jenkins from 1957 to 1958. The popular program originally ran after school hours during the week, but moved to Saturday mornings, was subtitled: "The Story of a Horse and the Boy Who Loves Him." Fury reruns continued on NBC until September 3, 1966, and later in syndication under the title the Black Stallion and as Brave Stallion.[4]
Diamond played the recurring role of "Buddy" in the NBC sitcom, The Nanette Fabray Show. He was strongly considered for the role of Robbie on My Three Sons [5] but was cast in 1962–1963 as Dobie Gillis's cousin, Duncan "Dunky" Gillis, for seven episodes of the final season of CBS's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (by then titled Max Shulman's Dobie Gillis), starring Dwayne Hickman[6] and Bob Denver of Gilligan’s Island, who played Maynard G. Krebs. Also in 1963, Diamond appeared briefly as "Pvt. Pip" in an episode of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, titled "In Praise of Pip". He was credited as "Robert Diamond". Billy Mumy and Jack Klugman also appeared in that episode, which aired on September 27, 1963.[7] In 1965 he played the son of the butter & egg man in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. He also appeared as Jody Webster in the 1961 episode "Paperback Hero" of the ABC western series, The Rebel, starring Nick Adams. He claimed to have been considered for the role of Robin on Batman but was told that at 21 he was too old for the role.[8]
