Author's Notes for "Rain, Rain, Go Away"

.

Once again, I got a notice that it was time for my dues on Sentinel Angst, and I had nothing ready. Think! Thinkthinkthinkthinkthink! As ideas passed through my brain, the muse seized on 'rain' -- my area hasn't had significant precipitation since we can't remember. September? October? No later than that, other than a stray one-tenth inch here and there. Meanwhile, areas of the upper Midwest are desperately fighting excessive rainfall and resulting floods. A story was born; Blair being Blair, he wasn't going to take a little thing like excess rain lying down. I hope you enjoyed it.
