Hey Frag,

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

Rae

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.


Now that makes more sense to me. wonder if an old civil war battleground
would work as well................plenty of them around here. this has
already become the 2nd driest season on record for our area. the expected
inch won't even put a dent in our problem. it probably won't even take an
hour for the ground to soak it up. I'm beginning to think we need a
tropical storm with lots of rain, but with out the winds and thunderstorms
