Injured

It's summertime ... so either everyone is busy at the beach or on holidays, or it's busy with the latest gossip and controversy. That's almost like a national pastime here ... gossip flow and tempers flare.
 This time its an all-arabic language only commercial aired during the Euro 2016 final. Jews are outraged that it should be aired on Israeli television ... not because of its content (a departmental store) but because of its language: it's arabic. Wow http://www.timesofisrael.com/arabic-only-ad-on-prime-time-tv-causes-stir-in-israel/

Another topic is the breach of security at Ben Gurion Airport by an investigative journalist. He used a fake ID to get a job there and had access to every part of the airport without being questioned or checked. Amazing ... the myth that Ben Gurion Airport is the safest in the world is now cracking. http://www.timesofisrael.com/undercover-journalist-exposes-security-failures-at-tel-aviv-airport/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Even bedouin hawkers
cannot keep off their
cellphones with the
latest gossip in town

And the biggest joke around town is  the discovery of an abandoned pub/club that has been turned into a secret marijuana plantation. Apparently the local mafia was running it. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.729845

I've injured myself yesterday. Was trying to move a heavy box when I pulled a hamstring. There was a loud crack and my right leg buckled. The pain is awful and I was in bed the whole day. There's swelling all over the hamstring and sitting is impossible, let alone walking. I might go to the hospital today if I can find someone to help me walk and get a car to the hospital.
