Win some, lose some

A near disaster this morning when a Russian airline missed the landing TWICE and nearly ended landing on a highway for cars! http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1260877314398&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Careful where you walk/drive in Israel .... a plane might land on you!!!

And you're not any safer at the border because soldiers can blow up your laptop! http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1135243.html

The IDF (Israel Defense Force) is allowing free access for Christians into Bethlehem this Christmas - but wait, this ends only at the border of Bethlehem. Anything thereafter is up to the Palestinian authorities.... and of course there is no guarantee that Jewish settlers will not attack Christians. Hmmmmm I wonder where does that lead us? http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1260447440486&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

ok enough of bad news ... the weather has been cold and tomorrow the forecast is 6 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrr. I'm locking myself in the room, get the "hot air fan" on and hibernate with my books. Oh, and for those of you who were enquiring, my asthma has gone much better and my swollen fingers have reduced quite alot. I realised that after an hour's brisk walk around the city clears the lungs and I get less asthma attacks. Problem is my ankles can't take such walks. Well, you win some, you lose some.
