BOOM!!!
It's loud.
Another BOOM, loud enough to semi awake me from my deep sleep in which I had incorporated the continuing booms into my sleep. The NATO forces are conduring airstrikes over Libya, but I'm not in LIbya. I am in Belpasso, Italy.
I get up from my bed and open the windows to see that the booms are right across the road from where I am sleeping. Why the Italians do this, I am not sure, but I am told they do this to celebrate holidays and weddings.
There must be Italian holidays every month and sometimes every week. I am frequently awaken from my sleep with these loud explosions unlike the fireworks, that I love and enjoy, the boom boom not good.
This is theory. The booms are so loud, that I believe they reach the heaven. And since the summer has so little rain that the Italians farmers are pledging for some. A little different from the Indian's rain dance but for the same purpose.
As I close the windows to block out the early morning sun and the noise, I lool up and noticed in the sky quite a few grey clouds.\
Maybe rain.
Still in Italy - have you applied for citizenship yet?

Still in Italy with the NATO forces. Sad, no sitting in a window above a cliff while sober, so forgetting when drinking.
