I heard over the radio this morning that China was develloping a technologie on making rain . !!!!   Well that was enough to get my attention . I did a Googly search and came up with some pretty good info

   I have no idea wether this is true or not it makes interesting reading. It does make one think at where they ( China ) are at .

   Can you imagine being able to be without droughts( no rain ) How much rice one can grow . !!!!!

The US military supposedly at one point screwed around with the weather.  supposedly these days they don't do it anymore.

So did the American Indians, the Wild West Snake oil salesmen and the South American "Indians".  Some of their efforts entailed human sacrifice. I don't go for that on American Soil.  :P

Sorry Tom , I did not read that part of there techic for trying to make it rain , I sure would not go for that type of rain makin' either .  ;)
We also had a rain dance that was performed , now to what extent it helped would be a head scratcher to me . I guess putting a few pale faces in da pot might of helped in calming some spirits too.

That's what we need, an anti-aircraft gun set up outside of New York City to justify "carry permits".  :D

One of these days, those chinee men are going to set off a cannon and it's going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights and have'm all on their tippey toes trying to get a breath of air. :D

I did a rain dance last summer and it worked. 8) I danced from May to October and we had the wettest October on record. Of course we had the driest summer in my lifetime. Sometimes it takes a long time for a rain dance to work, but they always work. ;)

I read about that too.Almost sounds like to me that they don't have a clue which way is up,but want you to come to China and spend your money.I really don't want to say propaganda but..........Sounds like they are rationing water to the farmers just so they  can look like the big guy in town.

I also read that they where short on water .... Heres a thought , theres too many of um for the space they have .
