Hey Frag,

how soon after you do the turtle spit thing is it suppose to rain?
it hasn't worked yet...........

It was about 26 hours later here. Want me to send you some spit?
Maybe mine is *special*.


(laughing)
No thanks!
(more laughing)
I think my husband's works just fine..........................(still
laughing!)
Sorry - couldn't resist - but seriously now.
You must have looked at your local forecast before you made your
turtle. I bet if we did it (the turtle thing!) again saturday - it
will rain sunday (even though they said this morning we will only get
about an inch)


We were only supposed to have a 20% chance of rain but they had said that
pretty much every day for weeks before my spit-take. I'll be honest,
though, I chose to do it in the middle of an ancient native American
encampment site. I think the spirits of those old Americans might have
sensed the urgency in my spit. I only have a few days to search that
field for artifacts before the crops get too big and I couldn't search
well without rain. It rained the next day and I hit the motherlode in
that field. I'd like to think it worked like that, at any rate.
