Long Island Rain Dance

Last week's forecast showed days on end with no rain until, Maybe Tuesday - just a quick thunderstorm. What happened?  I think it was my Long Island Rain Dance.  Here's how to do one yourself - it will work in most typically rainy states when the tomatoes are just coming out - and there's a fear of draught:

1. Wash your car
2. Purchase or use all your soaker hoses to make sure the tomatoes and cukes don't get wet leaves,   JUST the roots
3. Run from front yard to back, using a timer to make SURE everything is watered - but not waterlogged. 
4. Ignore all the polution indexes, heat stroke, etc.
5. Without you knowing it, that's key, as you've been running to and fro, staving off death and destruction of precious food for the table, your spouse has been - watching Channel 12.  Does he tell you that they NOW call for heavy downpours?  No he does not - until you've completed your ENTIRE rain dance. 

Try it - I'm not saying it's pleasant - but it works!
