You‘re getting ''this''-missive early, because the holiday of ''sukkoth'' is on Friday, so don‘t be ''dis''-missive!<br />
<br />
We went out with my cousins one evening to a place we‘d wanted to try. While we had a good visit with them, I wasn‘t particularly impressed by the place. Alas, such is life!<br />
<br />
Apart from the usual, we did some gardening. I finally broke down and got an electric “hedge trimmer”— and I don‘t honestly know why I‘ve been doing without one all these years. It certainly saves the wear and tear on my joints! But of course, now I have more trimmings to clear.<br />
<br />
Various:<br />
* The mayor of NYC [https://x.com/NYCMayor/status/2055402930677879076 marked “Nakba Day”] by highlighting an [https://x.com/_j0sh_a_/status/2055732105200468431 actual European settler] who‘s whiter than I am. But then, Mamdani‘s not very bright.<br />

<br />
The friendly Turks sponsored the latest “aid flotilla” to Gaza, which was intercepted by our forces. The ever politically-correct Ben Gvir [https://www.jpost.com/international/article-896845 caused a “diplomatic storm”] by harassing the terrorist scum, erm, “activists”. While his actions were undoubtedly not PC, and he ''is'' most definitely a polarizing figure, were I in charge, I would have torpedoed all those boats and let the activists sink or swim. We‘ve been entirely too gentle with them, and by acting so “civilized” we only encourage more of the same.<br />
<br />
And don‘t even get me started on what I think should be done with the Israelis who — for a mere pittance — engage in spying for Iran!<br />
<br />
This ''yom-ṭov'' and ''shabbat'' we‘re out for one meal; for the rest, we‘ve lined up:<br />
<br><br />
homemade ''ḥallah'',<br />
''ñoquis con salsa blanca y queso al horno'',<br />
“Mexican” chicken,<br />
''tira de asado'',<br />
baked potatoes,<br />
coleslaw,<br />
various ''salatim'',<br />
and cheesecake-ice-cream.<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
Until next time,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom'' and ''ḥag sameaḥ''!<br><br />
