I, Sannion, consecrate this shrine to Hermes on the
Seventh day of Gamelion in the Second year of the 695th
Olympiad in gratitude for his assistance.
The God Hermes:
- Helped me gather the funds for the move
- Got me a seat on the bus in Everett so I wouldn't
have to wait
- Inspired a couple to help me onto the right bus in
Seattle
- Kept the bus safe on the icy road
- Stopped the drunk driver from colliding with our
bus
- Didn't abscond my with luggage
- Guided the bus into Vegas on time
- And insured that the rest of my packages arrived
safely
For these and countless other kindnesses, I erect this
virtual shrine to him.
Ie Hermes!
