Here we are at the second Friday in the month of June and no rain yet. Spencer Cox's plea for Utah citizens to "pray for rain" evidently didn't hold much water with a 'supreme being'. Oh that's a funny, "pray for rain" and not holding much water. Yeah...funny. So it's still pretty dang screaming hot in the West and there is still not a rain drop to be had. Maybe next month when the "monsoon" is supposed to begin. Maybe. We can always hope or pray or stand on one foot and do the jumpies up and down. To properly do the jumpies up and down, one should hold an egg laying chicken in your arms of course and then jump up and down. Scares the bejeepers out of the chicken and theoretically, the squawking chicken is what entices the rain gods to make some rain. Rain that will hit the ground and not that virga shit that evaporates before it hits the ground. Any shit storm reference would be political and not meteorological. If a shit storm hits, there is not an umbrella made anywhere on the Planet that can help. Evidently people are starting to wake up to the fact that there's no water in Lake Powell or Lake Mead. What a shocker there boy. No rain, no water for the lakes. That would include snow as in snow pack. Snow pack is that snow falling in the mountains during winter and then melting as spring and summer wax on. Wane on? Whatever... Anyway, water authorities in the West are informing farmers that their irrigation water is about to be turned off. On account of water for cities is way more important than water for alfalfa or hay or veggies or cattle or sheep or chickens or well, farms in general. Farms in distress is more like it. Did you know that a chicken will drown if it looks up during a rain storm? Turkeys and cows will do that too. The critters haven't enough sense to quit looking up during a serious rain storm. Of course there are some people that do that as well. Trump's children do that and the Eric scion is notable for his utter lack of good sense and multiple reports of his almost drowning during rain events planned for his daddy are notorious. Inbreeding will have that effect on any family. Okay and so it's drought conditions as per usual and it's a Friday which would normally find Westerners of all shapes and sizes headed for the great western outdoors BUT, western governors and fire authorities have prohibited outdoor campfires so if Westerners want a camp fire this weekend they'll have to fire them up indoors. An indoor campfire isn't quite the same as a good old fashioned outdoor campfire. That and those indoor campfires tend to set the house on fire and then the scenario gets out of hand and there goes another wildfire that is currently scorching the West along with the drought. Damn if it isn't one freaking thing right after another freaking thing. So here is a modest rain dance proposal for helping alleviate the West's historic if not histrionic drought: while doing the rain invoking jumping up and down drill, sacrifice the chicken you'll be holding. Cut the little fucker's throat and spray blood all over everywhere while doing the jumpies. The blood sacrifice will help to impress the rain gods AND you'll have a chicken all ready for a campout barbecue. Of course that campout barbecue will need be done in your house. :] Okay and enough with the Friday feel good crap so let us move on now to the CGI portion of today's program. Machine art it is...
