Hi again!
Help feed the hungry in Israel!
This week was pretty calm in our part of the world. I spent a fair amount of time getting used to working with a Mac -- and compiling a list of grievances against Apple and their designers.
Calm for us, that is... but our trusty local newspaper reports in the "police blotter" section about a husband whose wife threatened to "burn him up". This in a "city without violence", as the sign boldly posted at the entrance to the city proclaims. And don't even mention the increasing number of women I've seen packing heat. Don't mess with 'em, boys, you don't want to get burned!
While Israelis celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the peace treaty with Egypt, the Egyptians studiously avoided any mention of it. And despite the fact that the supposed Israeli war crimes were proven to be a fabrication, our favorite Useful Idiot continues with the same tired claims. Maybe he should move to Gaza and increase the overall IQ of Israel?
Friends still in the US -- you've been put on notice that anti-Semitism is acceptable in the US, although criticism of Islam is not. Come home now, while you can! After all, you can already here the muezzin calling from here -- why wait till you here them there?
On that topic, the Wikipedia article states: The acts of the muezzin are also considered an art form, reflected in the melodious chanting of the adhan. Excuse me? Melodious?!? If you took a dozen cats, and gave them all electric shocks while they were on a tin roof, you wouldn't achieve ten percent of the "melodious chanting" we get from our local half-dozen muezzins, may they quickly ascend to Heaven and leave us in peace and quiet!
Note: today we switched over to "IDT" (Israel Daylight Time), so we are at GMT+3 until the Friday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which falls out this year on September 25th.
Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!
