This is the life
A holiday. A slow rain. Earl Grey tea. Home-made biscuits with (real) butter and sorghum molasses. Peaceful quiet.

Proclamation of the Republic in 1889. Independence Day (from Portugal) is Sept. 7. But it was proclaimed by a Monarch in 1822. So a few years later, they decided they didn’t want a Monarchy. So they got Military. Long story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Republic#History

True, but it did finally put them on the road to a more democratic government. After Vargas, and after the military regime in the 60s and 70s.

To extend John’s thought: Frying pan / Fire / Matheny’s arrival and the proclamation of Heaven & Hell. So then, surely some have been cooled / soothed / quenched from the water aligned with God’s salvation. Ok, enough of my extension……
