Rain, rain everywhere... and not a drop here.

We seem to have pissed off the rain gods. This weekend it rained hard all around us. Tennessee, Alabama, south Georgia, north of us at Lake Lanier... all got some rain this weekend. In fact, on Saturday a large band of thunderstorms tracked across the entire Atlanta area. We could hear the thunder and the sky looked promisingly dark and cloudy, so we went online to check the radar loop. That's when we noticed it: it was one continuous band of heavy rain, except for one spot where there was a very small gap in the band. Guess where that gap ended up going? That's right -- it went right over our house. It is as if there is an invisible force field or bubble centered over our yard that keeps it from raining here. It is getting downright weird how it will rain everywhere except in our neighborhood. What are the odds? I work 9 miles from home and one day last week it was raining so hard during my ride home that I could barely see the car in front of me. It rained for the first 8 miles and the last mile was bone dry. Will whoever put the "no rain" curse on us please cut it out? It isn't funny anymore.
