Thanks for checking in, Shir. That's one of the things I love so much about here, it makes everything more present. We know more about what's going on in Israel because of you. You know more about what's going on here because of us. And we can reach out to each other regardless. I love that.
Garbage, most recyclables, deck: done. Need to load the cardboard in the swag wag and then mop the kitchen. And make the bed. And that's probably it. There's more to do, and the SO just checked in from Gallup, so he's got about three more hours. I wish they'd stopped somewhere, but I know he wants to get home.
Thankfully, we cancelled our morning obligation, so the first thing they have to do when they get here is at 6 tomorrow night. They're going to be so wiped out.
Cardboard: loaded. Kitchen: mopped.
Remaining: One more load of dishes. Tablecloth out of dryer and back on table. Make bed. Collapse.
Eggs & bacon:
Done! Sleeping now. They should be here in about an hour, assuming they didn't run into any more bad weather. Although I have to say that I am amused at my volunteers from Indiana flying in to snow in Albuquerque.
Good lord, I unplug early...
I just stole a friend's fb status - "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." (Mark Twain)
I find myself very conflicted about the death and its manner, and the Twain quote is so very apt in this circumstance.
Oh, that's a good one and really does describe my feeling on the subject.
I'm kinda' meh on the whole Bin Laden death thing. I'm just tired....
But I'm not surprised he wasn't taken alive. For years it's been assumed if US forces ever cornered him, he'd kill himself or have one of his men kill him to avoid being taken alive. Plus he was firing his weapon, so if you're a Navy Seal and Bin Laden is firing a gun at you, you fire back.
DavidS, or anyone else who knows: In the TV movie "Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe", Bruce Campbell played a Navy SEAL, and he is repeatedly called "soldier", even by his fellow officers. Is that accurate?
(I fully expect someone to point out that Mark Twain never actually said that, as seems to be the case with almost *all* Mark Twain quotes. But it's still apt.)
