And I agree with your assessment. As near as I can tell, he only publicly tested his rain machine once - and it rained, so he assumed that was enough testing and that it worked. So, he packed his shit and went to demonstrate it in the Arizona desert. Obviously, it did not rain in the desert when he pointed his empty tubes at the sky. It did cloud up a little, so the story goes. How he then decided it was an alien attack, I'll never know. I don't speak crazy. Sure, I've dated lots of crazy chicks - but I never understood their crazy thinking. Shit, one of my most memorable crazy chick experiences was a chick that was sitting there on the couch munching on cotton balls. I asked what she was doing and she said she was eating cotton balls. I decided that probably wasn't going to kill her so it wasn't until a few days later that I dropped her ass off at the psych ward. The last straw was she'd 'heated' frozen peas in the microwave - except I don't think she actually turned it on. There was like a half stick of unmelted butter and the peas were still frozen. She was quite happy eating said peas. That's when I knew it was beyond my ability to help and off she went to the nut house.
