| Inspiration: ��� I was driving to the bookstore to buy a book on the famous haiku poet, Matsuo Basho ( ^_^ ) , when I noticed a small drop of rain hit the windshield. Then about 5 seconds later another, and another and another and again and again. �� What was unusual about this, though, was the sky was blue. I looked around trying to find the source and saw one fairly small gray cloud. Soon I suppose I drove under this cloud, or it came to me, or a little of both, and a 5 minute shower ensued. Did not see rain or even a hint of rain afterwards. ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� � -Chris |
