Malard gets up every morning by 6 and checks the sky and looks at the thermometer outside his window. He tunes in radio station KFYR in Bismarck for the weather reports. Day after monotonous day the news is the same. Clear skies, or thin empty clouds, temperatures already in the 70s or above and not a trace of dew on the land. When a slight shower came...

All it took me to grow it was about 15 years of my life...
