My readership yesterday plummeted to 3. If you have any feedback, feel free to express it. Too much personal detail on what I've been doing? Or perhaps you have been busy yourselves and prefer to read a few days entries at a time rather than looking each day. For myself I find it helpful in reviewing my day, so I'll press on for a little while, see how it goes.
Today I went with Rosalyn to celebrate a friend's birthday at lunchtime, and it was a very pleasant . enjoyable, occasion. Our mutual friend was also a friend of Pattisue, and very active in the local Democrats.
I had planned on going to an Emmanuel member's pool party this evening, but felt I'd had enough excitement for one day, so had a nap this afternoon, and slept very soundly.
In the news...............
It has been hot.
The news is full of a major prison breakout in New York State. Two very dangerous criminals were working, sewing some sort of uniforms (I thought prisoners sewed mailbags) and they conned the woman in charge to smuggle in power tools, then managed to hack their way out. I wondered why the noise of these power tools didn't alert the guards, but apparently there was reconstruction work going on at the prison at the time, which was convenient for them. Anyway, the stupid woman was supposed to meet them when they emerged from a manhole cover, but she got cold feet and they took off without her. As they haven't yet been captured I should think they are way off into Canada by now.
73 workers in airports across the nation were found to be on the Terror Watchlist. How reassuring is that?? I am glad I am not frequently flying around, as some people do. The TSA also carried out another operation in airports across the country in which people were fitted with fake bombs, and the failure to detect them was 96%. I think, somewhere, heads must be rolling.
And finally............as I think I have said before, the US, or Coalition Forces, are not winning the war against ISIS.
I get it that Obama doesn't want to go to war, his heart is not in it, he wanted to end his Presidency declaring that he had ended all wars in the Middle East, but what is happening in the Middle East is on a par with the situation in Europe, in the Holocaust. And it is an oft quoted statement that "for evil to succeed it is only necessary for good people to do nothing". Or words to that effect, and I think it was Martin Luther King who said that.
