<div>Don't worry, as soon as the tents cover a certain percentage of the ground, it issues a siren call to local rainstorms. Master John McGuire tells of how once when at the Giant Eagle (dressed in mundanes so blending into the background) he heard the following exchange betweeen a couple of locals:
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Those folks in the funny clothes are back at the Coopers."</div>
<div>"Yup. Must be about time for the drought to break."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ki-lin</div>
<div>scruffy-looking bookpusher<br><br> </div>

Yes, I really do use it at work. Many thanks.
<br>As to the weather, we're finally getting some rain. With luck, it will soften the ground enough so that we won't need blasting caps to put in our tent stakes this year. The temperature is currently in the 80's during the day, but the humidity makes it feel a bit "close". I hope we get a wee bit more of a steady rain between now and Pennsic.
<br>See you then, Tuiren (who lives nearby)<br><br></blockquote></div></span></div>
