An Introduction From Rissa
Hi, my name is Rissa and I’m a friend of Darren’s, and he and I talked a while back about writing and he told me about scrytch and though I don’t have an account or anything h’es been printing me out some. so anyway I’ve been reading some of the stuff of his he sent me and I wanted to write something so here it goes.

Here in Iowa there are these people called “weather spotters” who call into the tv center and report when the weather is bad. Iowa is big so it works out that people can keep an eye on these things. Only people would get bored or maybe just be sad and so they’d call in and report weather that was worse than it really was even if there was no bad weather at all, sometimes. sometimes they were just crazy and called in like grapefruit-sized hail but sometimes it was just enough to get interest up but not exactly be the truth, just a little exaggeration. So now all the tv centers have “official weather spotters” who apparently have to take this test or something or maybe be related to people who work there (I don’t know) so the weather people don’t pass along bad weather. But they still let the other “weather spotters” call and they just say it’s an unofficial report.

That’s what those stories made me think of.
