One day, back in the 1970's, my father and I were on our way to a wildlife sanctuary called Felix Neck. On the way there, my father said, "Katie, it's raining, we can't go." I looked out my window and replied, "No it's not." My dad repeated his claim. "It's raining." I looked out her window again and replied, "It's not raining on my side of the car."
This is our story.
