sacrifice
It hasn't rained in too too long here, and the pond is starting to run out of water. So I did the noble thing and left my car windows open this afternoon, and it had the desired affect: torrential downpours! Fortunately, it was hot and breezy enough after the storm that I just opened all the doors and things dried out very nicely. Then it rained again! Haha, just kidding. Well, actually it did, but I was clever and closed the car up when it started looking cloudy again. So everything ended happily.
