Ray's Rainfall Update - A Little Relief from the Heat, but not from the Imperialism

Praise the Goddess fer a little shower yesterday, the first since Day 262 of DY 1. The new total is 46.23" + 0.28" = 46.51". Officially, we just have to survive 15 more days of Beelzebubberriffic. Then commences, Hope Remains, the season. Perhaps yesterday's shower harkens an end to the sweltering heat, but maybe not. Either way, sweat is free.

The day is number 282, DY 1. Sadly, despite our Kinglet's efforts, a military junta prevails in Burma, the nation-state that inspired Burma Shave. You may know, a Sun God Trainee, like me, is supposed to think about everything he or she knows, at least once a day. But I had clean forgotten about Burma until the Kinglet reminded me. Thanks Kinglet for reminding me about the miserable Burmese.

Uh. Is the Kinglet fixing to Shock and Awe, Burma?

Not likely that. That situation is being handled behind the scenes by our Chinese trading partners, maybe, just like in Free Tibet. Noper, no shock and awe for the miserable Burmese. They just get snorted at.

But the Kinglet shocked me. I was in awe that the Kinglet remembered the miserable Burmese. Somebody over at the White Palace must have hollered,

Kinglet, the miserable Burmese are fixing to mix it up with their military junta.

Sure enough, there those miserable Burmese were, marching along, getting shot up, again, just in time for the Kinglet to appear prophetic at the United Nations.

OK. Here's an interesting question. How many Mammonite Republicans display Free Tibet bumper stickers on their great vehicles? Seems like all those Free Tibet bumper stickers wind up on little weasly vehicles. Yet now, perhaps, thanks entirely to our Kinglet, Free Burma bumper stickers shall be affixed upon many a great vehicle, right next to the symbolic fish and the yellow ribbon sticker denoting the near certain payment of taxes.
