OH,
There is nothing I like more than an oliverhaddo day, which due to your brilliant presence we are in lucky receipt of, yeah. Solid to hold on to? How about a song in a language that has both borne and sold itself to the conquests--and they call it a "Romance." Poor english, poor us, except when the bells dance from within the syllables of someone's truth. We all have one. Yours is nice.

Besides, get this, it's raining RAINBOWS in India. And nobody understands why. If anyone asked me (which they didn't) I would simply say that a rainbow melted. To which Henny Penny would say, "the sky is falling." To which I would say, "Catch some." And Dorothy would have to stop singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow." She might be able to splash in its puddle...what would she sing then?

PS. From the book of Thomas:

22. ...
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]." (Book of Thomas, Nag Hammadi Scrolls)

Coloured rain falls on Kerala

The monsoon in Kerala has taken on a different hue

By Venkitesh Ramakrishnan in Cochin

Scientists in the southern Indian state of Kerala have begun examining an unusual phenomenon: coloured rainfall in some parts of the state.

Its southern and central districts have witnessed spells of coloured rain over the past week, prompting researchers to launch a formal investigation.

It all started with scarlet rain showers last Thursday on some villages in the southern districts of Kottayam and Idukki.

Soon, a similar phenomenon was reported from eight other districts of the state. These areas witnessed spells of green, yellow, brown and black rains.

Almost the entire state, except for two northern districts, have reported these unusual rains over the past week.

Atmospheric dust

Scientists from the Trivandrum-based Centre for Earth Science Studies are now studying the rain waters collected by local people.

The institute's Director, M Baba, said the scientists would not be able to say anything until the analysis was completed. He said it might take up to three weeks to reach a conclusion.

Coloured rains have been reported from some other parts of the world in the past.

Experts said the most likely reason was the presence of dust in the atmosphere which colours the water.

They said yellow rain could be due to sand or the presence of pollen in the air. This was the reason given for coloured rains in Afghanistan a few years ago.

: (Nice PR. And how it reveals what they'll never understand.)

: Snippets and paragraphs have come in since then alleging CTs
: are biochem agents aimed at culling the population (The
: Great Dying), or are anti-biochem agents aimed to counter a

: obvious that the War is far from over. A CT operation in

: Our Sun is in turmoil, our Earth is in flux. Isn't it curious
: that our geopolitical systems, our economies, our monetary

: There couldn't possibly be a connection, do you think?
