Sonic boom

It occurs to me that the 24 hours of solid thunder, lightning and heavy rain occurred
pretty close to the instant the deal with the Sonics was settled.
I wonder if Sherman had anything to do with it.
I've always thought that such things as rain dances were mythology.
Not having television or newspaper editors to write opinions to, these things were just a way to pretend to have control over the inevitable misfortunes of life.

Sorta like our "election dance" where we pretend to elect the people who take our money and give it to their friends.

Or TV shows like "West Wing" where we pretend that the people we are herded into "electing" are decent, honorable and, even a bit competent.

But it appears I'm wrong.

Mr. Alexie obviously has a strong and effective link with the "I'm really pissed about this" God.

We get to keep the name however.
I think we should give it to Sherman.
As a gesture of love and affection.

The Basketball team bought the name from the 50's rock group.

Imagine it;
The Seattle "Nirvana" a grungeball team.
The Seattle "Presidents of the United States of America" a mud wrestling team
The Seattle "Seattle Symphony Orchestra" a nerfball team.
The Seattle "Rossis" a tennis team.

I could go on, but I am capable of compassion.

Anyway, It's the fourth of July.
Independence day.
Where we celebrate the day we ended the oppressive government, religious, and social prejudices of English rule and created our very own oppressive government, religious, and social prejudices.

Or as Sherman might think of it, "The party's over" day.

Always remember;
It's not the length of your life that counts,
what counts is the life of your length.
