Traditional Rain Dance Ceremony

Wed Jul 20 2005 13:46 MDT #

I carefully performed the traditional rain dance ceremony/cleansing ritual at high noon today - I ran in circles, waved a big water stick around, bent over, stood up, over and over.

I invoked the rain gods by ritually splashing my car with a high pressure stream of water. Then I did the cleansing ritual part by spraying my car with high pressure soap. Then I rinsed it off again, carefully circling the car with my water stick. Then I did a final ceremonial high pressure wax rinse, symbolizing what I do not know. Do not question the ritual. Then followed by another high pressure waving of the water stick, and then a gentle shower of water with the water stick, symbolizing the end of a rain fall. Then I dried the car and left.

I did a follow up to the ceremony once I got back to work - I cracked the windows of the car. I noticed most other cars are also doing this same simple move - thus practically guaranteeing a sudden downpour later this afternoon, followed by a wave of dust devils to "exfoliate" the cars inside and out.

Update: It worked. It's raining! Hailing, even! Guess the run-on sentence didn't ruin the rain dance after all... :-)

Maybe you should let him drive your clean car. He'll be careful. Remember, you never solve anything with a run on sentence.
