Default A Rain Wand Follow Up

Earlier I posted a link to a Rain Wand I was doing for a friend in
Central Texas where they've had a summer of drought and a long heat wave
- as well as a hell of a big FIRE that's started almost two weeks ago.

I finally got the piece finished and in the mail. It got to Kyle Texas
on Thursday. My friend took it outside at moonrise, raised it to the
heavens and sang a few choruses of Let It Rain. It rained! Not a
typical Central Texas gully washer, but it rained -lightly - for a
little while. On Friday morning at sunrise my friend went outside and
repeated the previous evening's ritual. It rained again!

Coincidence?

Watch out - you will be invaded for having a working design without
a government watchdog approving of it first! You pose a life
threatening tool - dumping rain upon the heads of the peoples!
