6102016 palindrome day

A rather quiet Friday in the streets ... no tensions or violence ... which is nice. Right now lots of fireworks are being fired in the Ras el Amud neighbourhood which is about 2 km south from where I live. There's a wedding.

Buddy wants to study

School on the other hand has just started. Lots of work as new students need to be introduced to the hows and whats of the libraries. Had to be around to make sure everything was running smoothly. Students are busy registering for courses, asking for advice and buying text books.

Even Buddy wants to study. He's just learned how to fly and is practicing every day ... flying to my bookshelves and nibbling on my books. He's even learned to fly on my shoulder overtime I try to go out ... he wants to go out too. Sometimes I bring him around the corridor or the caffe room when the doors and windows are closed. The cat outside is waiting for a meal!!!

I wonder if you noticed yesterday was a palindrome date: 6/10/2016 or 6102016  ... useless information but something interesting for the brain to think about. When will the next palindrome date fall?

The newspapers are carrying news of some 2000 women who are marching from the north to the south here, to the PM's house to demand for peace. It'll take some 14 days to march from Rosh haNikra which is at the Lebanese border down 300 km to the PM's house in Jerusalem. They're tough these women.  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4863103,00.html

And another good news is that Tel Aviv University hs discovered a way to alter the gene that causes Alzheimer's Disease. It's worked on mice ... now it's human trial.
