Abstract
The [8.7]-[11.4] infrared color is found to increase monotonically with increasing period for a sample of 41 Mira variables. We conclude that mass loss is not a stochastic process and that for any Mira variable the rate of mass loss is directly linked to the parameters which dictate the period of that variable.
