So Many Raindrops
With all the flash floods happening throughout the world, one would think we’d had enough of the wet weather. Yet, unfortunately, here in Florida, although it is our rainy season, we’re just not getting out share of rain. I know we’re not the only state that is suffering from the hot sun and droughts. There are places much worse than Florida since their droughts are causing massive fires. Where I live in Florida, we have few woody areas and certainly no forests that might easily catch fire.

I've Got That Sinking Feeling
Anyone living on the water can tell you about tides, winds, and the combination of both. Squalls are a common occurrence when living on the water. To be more accurate, squalls can happen anywhere. If you look up the definition of squall, you’ll see that it is a sudden and violent gust of wind or worse - a localized storm that brings heavy precipitation.

Frustration or Euphoria, maybe a bit of both
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Melody laughed. “Really?” she said sarcastically. “And how would they, or anyone, for that matter, with us being so many thousand miles away from earth?”
