More rain

If only we could learn from them ...

What a weekend. 3 missiles from Syria fell into the Golan Heights and Israel sent warnings in reaction. Then lots of missiles (85) were fired into southern Israel from Gaza, and Israel fired in return - deaths and injuries resulted. As usual, all this is just testing the waters after Obama won the elections. It's positioning ... like fighting fish flaring and circling each other. If only we can learn from the two babies in the pic.

And there were earthquakes all over the world during the weekend: twice in Guatemala, then Burma, Kentucky, Papua New Guinea, the Kuril islands ... all over the magnitude of 5.

And it rained the whole day yesterday. Flooding in Eilat and other coastal cities from Tel Aviv (south) to Haifa (north). While it caused alot of inconvenience, no one is complaining because we need the rain so very much. The wind gets pretty strong up in the hill country ... and it was 10 degrees last night. I got my heater out.

So much for the weekend ... is it a foretaste for the rest of the week?
