Strange Phone Calls About Filling Lake Travis

I got a phone call from a guy in Florida last Monday. He said that he felt a spiritual connection to Austin and wanted to help alleviate our drought. He offered to come to Lake Travis and do ceremonies to tell the rain where to fall. If what he did worked, they guy told me that he would accept donations.

Then I got a call yesterday from a guy telling me that he had a device to shoot a plasma beam into the air to make it rain. He too didn't expect compensation until after he made it rain.

Both of these guys sounded very serious and the stories they had sounded like some really great science fiction.

Granted, Lake Travis waterfront isn't looking that great right now, but I am not going to host somone from a sci-fi phone call.

Anyone else getting calls like these?
