This is the actual link you should be looking for. Everyone's way too polite to point up my error... Sometimes I hate getting old.
Go here for our visits to the frozen Chemung.Also, time for a minor update: we are now using our newly-wiped Compaq Presario almost exclusively. Because of the unpaid furloughs, the PC's and Macs at work are closely monitored. What's more, I don't feel like posting or even just composing at work. During my breaks I play video games.My first "Out of Office" day, a.k.a. unpaid furlough, is Wednesday. We will be visiting with Golfer Girl, who is now to be called Golfer Lady, since her man is now Joe Sindelar, Sr. Most appropriately, they live next to a golf course north of here.My book came to a crashing halt with our hard drive. Only chapters that were uploaded to Blogger survived. My favorite chapter still exists, but my second favorite had been committed to paper and gifted to its starring character. We'll see if it turns up, ever. In the meantime, it will take a long time to revisit my little world. Boy, did the latest episode of the Simpsons ever hit home!pbLittle Pond
Their situation is dire. Israel is being excoriated as a huge bully attacking the defenseless. It is horrible how the civilians suffer. So many dead, so many wounded, so many homeless.Hamas hides behind human shields. Always has, always will.Israel will defend itself, an island of civilization amid the barbarians. It would not surprise me if Palestinians begin to filter into Israel. Again. After all, they will be safe there.The Israelis take care of their own, training them to avoid the missiles and keeping a standing army to protect its nation.Hamas recruits the hopeless from mosques, and pumps them up to kill themselves and others.Their human shields are their parents and families. Their parents and families stand solidly behind them, taking incoming Israeli attacks full in the face. Ergo every Palestinian is in fact a solder.Hamas soldiers duck out of harm's way to save themselves, and their families die, creating the most starkly horrifying situation, designed to inflame the world.The absolute antithesis of how a nation's army is supposed to operate. The barbarians are willing to sacrifice their nation to lessen Israel in the eyes of the world.Pure genius. pbLittle Pond
Well, no.
I heard the sound of toenails headed up the stairs.
HuggaMutt is now hiding under the bed.
It is -17C (2F) outside.
No walk this morning.

Little Husband RJ at age four. He can't decide whether he wants to be a "dude" or a cowboy. His little cap was a common sight when we were small. My Irish Twin Tommy wore one, too. It made his eyes look huge.The neighborhood in the background doesn't look much different these days.Get a load of the flannel lined pants!Guess Moms always loved to dress up their kids. Wonder how they could afford cowboy boots back then? Maybe they were those cheap vinyl ones that children wore with costumes.Husband RJ remembers the boots, but not the rest of the getup.pbLittle Pond
