...those lines. You now have the outer dome covered with vines. You then go up between the two domes, winding a translucent plastic around the surface of the inner dome. This will keep the rain out, letting the sun come through your forest of vines. The plastic can be wound in such a manner that the grooves of it serve as rain-catching troughs.

Pelotaris like to compare themselves to bullfighters: the pelota is a charging bull, and the closer it comes, the bigger the thrill. In Miami some years back, one player was beaned and killed, and frontons tried to talk the players...
