To All: With Nathanc and Blue on Black showing up here, I thought why not contact our very own Rainy Day Woman and see how she was doing. Rainy was kind enough to reply and I thought I would post her letter.

Dear Druss

Well, you tracked me down as usual. I am doing well, I am in Mexico right now on vacation. After several months of pumping and dumping stocks it is good to get away from the grind.
Since you managed to find me, I would like to ask you a favor. I know you like kids as much as I do, so maybe you can help me out. As you know I like to take a wrist rocket sling shot and a bag of ball bearings for the boring taxi rides from the airport to the hotel (and back). Zinging the scrawny little waifs out there in the street is fun and I think they enjoy it too. They sure do carry on as they climb six feet in the air squalling like scalded cats. But the problem is the ball bearings. I had thought a lot about them and I just felt it wasn't right. The airports have gotten pretty strict on weight allowances and carry on. Ball bearings are simply too heavy. I mentioned this to a friend of mine who is a cop and he came up with a great solution. He gave me a bag of pepper balls. They are just like the balls they use in paint ball guns only filled with cayenne pepper powder. They are light and give the little tykes a dose of pepper dust when they hit.
I have really gotten enthused about the results of using them. So much so that I have started using them on my taxi rides to restaurants during my visit. The local kids are enjoying it too and have taken to calling me 'perra del infierno' which the taxi driver told me means 'spicy lady'. My problem is I am running out of ammo. Could you please see if you can locate some and get it to me as soon as possible? If you can't find them I understand, just send me a extra large bag of marbles.
Kisses
Rainy

And don't you dare put this letter on the Flame Thread.
