Hot...Damn Hot!

Well as you may be able to tell from the title...it is freaking hot...supposed to be 108 today and poor S is unable to swim because he has swimmers ear... :( Still, we will trudge on and keep him cool...somehow!

Am doing better health wise, started back on my exercise regimen and hopefully this time won't get thrown off track again....the doc says that it may all return again this month but am keeping fingers and toes crossed that this is not the case.

Hubby came home this weekend and told us that the Israelis started bombing Lebanon and I was just flabbergasted. Guess that serves me right for consciously avoiding the news. It is getting scary over there...am afraid that things will never be calm and peaceful. I was reading up on it and the strangest thing...CNN was running a poll asking who would better establish peace...the UN or the US. It occured to me right then...neither...the only ones that can establish lasting peace is the people fighting. It is as if someone were to have stepped in during our Civil War and demanded that we stop fighting...the actual battles may stop but the fighting and bitterness would not have...eventually coming to a head again every 10-15 years and merely prolonging the problem. Kinda like what is happening now in the middle east. Perhaps I am oversimplifying what is happening there now but I really believe that the only real lasting resolution for peace is going to come from the people themselves...how that will come about I am not sure...I am afraid it will get worse before it gets better though.

Enough from me for now...

I just got the same update today. I feel like an ostrich, I've had my head stuck so far in the sand. So I know what you mean. Like I told Trav, most of the news just pisses me off so I avoid it like the plague. I'm starting to sound like an old woman, "The world's going to hell in a handbasket. Why, when I was a kid..." lol
