Ray's Rainfall Update
Here we are on Day 237, DY 1. We are the survivors, so far. Yet many have perished. Perhaps they are in a better place. Perhaps not.
Miserable Iraq is pretty interesting. Yesterday, for example, I learned of Yazidis, a mysterious religious and/or ethnic group, some of whom got blown up by the Sunni Arabs. Having never heard of Yazidis, plus curious by nature, I decided to look them up on the internet, and read all the information contained on a couple of the more reputable seeming sites.
Like almost all of US, I know virtually nothing about miserable Iraq, even after all this time of being taxed for the imperial occupation of same. So I have no idea if any of the information I read about the Yazidis is true. But true or not, some of the information was interesting and might prove useful to a Sun God Trainee such as myself. For one thing, somebody is of the opinion that Yazidis are descended only from the Red Man, Adam. The rest of US, conversely, are descended from both Adam and Eve, and therefore, contaminated by whatever. If I remember correctly, according to the same opinion, the mother of the Yazidis is something called a houri. Er.
All righty then. How is this information of potential usefulness to a Sun God Trainee such as myself? Well, this information is theoretically useful in the sense that my training includes comparitive religion. Now I have discovered a religion that I was completely ignorant of prior to yesterday. So that's good. The practical significance, assuming my eventual matriculation to full Sun God status, is that I shall be able to communicate with the miserable Yazidis, perhaps through a translator, that I am a Sun God deserving of admission to their pantheon of angels or whatever. For this practice to work out though, I need to matriculate before the Sunni Arabs murder all the Yazidis. That may be a long shot.
I wonder, shall the Goddess have pity on the miserable Yazidis? Not if the opinions I read about those Yazidis reflect their actual thinking on their realtionship to the Goddess. Noper, She shall show no pity at all, a-tall.
Yet the CB was blessed with 1.2" of rainfall today. The new all important total is 40.67" + 1.20" = 41.87". Praise the Goddess!
