Jody said meekly, "I won't wish it agin. But wind and rain is fine." "All right. Wind and rain. That's another thing." The sun set strangely that night. The sunset was not red, but green. After the sun was gone, the west turned gray. The east filled with a light the color of young corn. Penny shook his head. "I don't like it. Hit looks mighty boogerish."
