In Texas:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal and robust way of life.And in Kyrgyzstan (I think that's west of Laramie, near Big Hole):
In Kyrgyzstan, legislators have sacrificed seven sheep to drive out evil spirits out of the parliament chamber... The evidence of the evil spirits included disagreements between the two parties that came to an actual brawl recently on the floor.
