New Port Richey needs rain.

It's been weeks now.  Everything is in bloom.  Dust clogs the air.  None of us can breathe.   Wash the car and an hour later it's got crud all over it. 

And yesterday we were veritably TAUNTED by the rolling thunder East of us.  Storms sprang up to the North East.  Storms sprang up to the South East.

But we had another (beautiful) sunny day.

Described by the scientific community in So Long and Thanks for All the Fish (Douglas Adams) as a "Quasi Supernormal Incremental Precipitation Inducer," Rob McKenna is an ordinary lorry driver who can never get away from rain and he has a log-book showing that it has rained on him every day, anywhere that he has ever been to prove it. Arthur suggests that he could show the diary to someone, which Rob does, making the media deem him a 'Rain God' (something which he actually is) for the clouds want to be near him, to love him, to cherish him and to water him. This windfall gives him a lucrative career of not travelling to places for money.

I charge you gentlemen in our mighty Fox Weather Department with finding, and funding, a Rain God.  Give him money to travel around the Bay Area as a new career! 

Truthfully, I know you guys in the Weather Department cannot MAKE the rain happen, but just in case one of you HAPPENS to be a Rain God (I cannot fail to observe that it DOES rain in Tampa far more than here! LOL) or knows one, PLEASE help!

Ah, for wishful thinking....
