The methods most used near as I can figure out: Dart board {Drawing out of a} Hat Dice Cards, both Tarot and standard deck Pennies(with apologies to I Ching(tm) freaks) Random number generation on a hand-held calculator Also, if you try complaining to the Weather Bureau, remember that they are government and will not help you. Of course, if you are proficient at any of the above things there may be a job for you with WB. When I was a child, I asked my mother if she got to help throw darts in the forecasting room, but she gave me no answer, so I am still in the dark,too. Maybe they hire the blind to perform the forecasting to make the results more statistically random. Weather is always something safe to flame about, Kchula-Rrit !menlo70!nsc!nessus
