Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain

I'm having one of those days where you get up so late that you never get out of your pajamas. Under the magical spell of lorazepam, I got some serious sleep last night. It felt real good, and I took so many that I managed to stifle any dreams or nightmares. Outstanding. Now I'm enjoying a rainstorm as it strips the leaves off the maple tree in the courtyard outside my bedroom window. A good day, so far, and I almost don't care that a close friend seems to be ignoring my calls. Almost.

Just a little update from the world beyond the House of Four Cats. The last shipment of AK-103 Kalashnikovs left Russia for Venezuela earlier this week. That completes a shipment of 100,000 of those rifles, along with an unknown amoung of ammunition (unknown to me). In addition to that, 2 of the 24 Russian Sukhoi warplanes that Venezuela ordered are to be delivered by November 30. The company behind the sale is Rosoboronexport, and I don't know a thing about them. I do know that Venezuela is keeping her promise to bolster her defenses and develop a stronger relationship with those countries willing to sell various and sundry armaments.

So that's the update. I have opinions, but who cares.

I could use a shower, and perhaps a little World of Warcraft. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.
