I am constantly amazed by Miss Pickerell. How can a batty woman who drives around with a cow in the back of her truck (just for kicks) manage to get a seat on a shuttle to go into space so that she can fix a faulty weather satellite? The very fact that she seems to succeed at whatever she puts her mind to has to have something to do with it. But my heavens, she's a goofy thing, isn't she?

But be that as it may, someone has to fix things. The weather satellite is clearly not working correctly and if it's not fixed the rains will flood the entire county. (Long story, just go with it). And so, Miss Pickerell is off to space - AGAIN! Whether it seems reasonable or not.

Yeah, this is a fun book.

Miss Pickerell has PTSD when Square Toe County's municipal agents fail to agree that it's raining. She travels to space to Windex a lens.
