i am here in florida where we have been dying for rain. the little bits we have gotten has not made a difference.

when i lived in okinawa we would have lots and lots of dragonflies about before any kind of storm.

i went outside and saw a lot today. do you floridians think it will rain soon?

do any of you have other ways of telling when it is going to rain?

I get this crazy ache in my left ankle. I had surgery there about 20 years ago and had pins and screws put in it. About an hour before it storms it starts *talking* to me.

I bet all those dragonflies were beautiful. It would be nice if we had something like that happen before the rain here in Tennessee. It's rained almost every day now for two weeks. I'm thankful...we've sure needed it!

I get a significant sinus headache, the kind that no amount of Tylenol Sinus can help. I get it one eye or the other, never both, behind my eyebrow and slightly behind my eye. It's a very distinct pain. Within three days it rains, every single time since I was about 9. I'm a human barometer.

Oh, and it also seems to rain every time I wear a pair of new shoes, go figure. Once in when I was in highschool I was getting out of my friends car, our school was on a hill... my new shoe slipped off and fell in the gutter and took off like a raft on a river.

they are pretty. deep red and shiny
