Rain shadow? I'm slow enough tonight that I'm not catching your meaning, 
unless you're asking if we're currently getting the same rain that's 
wetting on you, in which case, the answer would be "yes."
Somehow, though, what your question provoked was a looped tape in my 
brain of Cat Stevens singing: "I'm being followed by a moon shadow, moon 
shadow, moon shadow....Leaping and hopping...."
--maire, who always did like that song...
P.S. I actually have obligatory food content! My neighbor on the corner 
was taking advantage of a break in the clouds yesterday to mow his lawn, 
and I stopped to talk and be neighborly.  I've been eye-balling his 
grape vines for two years now (he has them growing all over and through 
the chain-link fence around his yard).  He said I could help myself to 
grapes.  Hallelujah, I have a source for grapes to make verjuice! Now if 
I can only find out how relatively ripe/unripe they should actually be. ;-D
