In regular weather, they didn't feel or express anything. They only really came alive in the middle of powerful electrical storms. They'd gather on islands and sing in the middle of the rain and lightning. The main character in the story, who was traveling with them, wondered if this longing they had for storms actually created the storms - maybe the storms were chasing <em>them</em>. You're hardly what anyone would describe as bland, but this post reminded me of that story for some reason. I hadn't thought of it in a while. Maybe you're unwittingly editing the weather.

He aimed his shoes at a much more evil, sinister man, George W. Bush. Saddam Hussein was just a puppet of American corporations and the CIA who went astray, and was done away with because of that. Let's stop allowing our fellow Americans to invade and destroy other nations. Let's work for peace in the world. Not another world war! It's time for America's wealthy elite to stop promoting war, death and destruction.
