Of sunrise and sickness

Amazing sunrise today

My heart still hurts ... and at times sharp pains. I'm sure I'll get a stroke or heart attack soon ... because the amount of work I have to do. I'm actually supposed to be resting but due to the sudden transfer of my personnel by higher authorities without any warning, I'm left with less than a skeleton crew .... literally only one guy who is learning on the job. I am at wits end as now I have to do the job of 5 people. And to top it all, it's Monday .... class at 4am.  I prefer to get a heart attack and die.

Cold, empty street last night

The weather has been playing games again ... during the day it gets to 18 degrees and you can actually wear a T-shirt. But by 5pm it gets cold and during the night it goes down to 12  degrees. It's quite bearable .... but I find it extremely annoying because in Tel Aviv it's 25 degrees and people there are having summer while we're still at the tail end of winter. But the sunrise these few mornings are spectacular because of the dry crisp air. From the vapors of the Dead Sea, the sunlight takes on a strange hue of violet and blue.

The ongoing saga of forceful repatriation of african asylum seekers takes a new twists as jews from kibbutz and communes begin sheltering them. Amazing.  https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5157685,00.html

And the govt seems more divided and poised for a snap election because the ultra-orthodox will bring the coalition govt. down if the military draft law is not changed; while the zionist parties vow never to give in to the ultra-orthodox. The PM is struggling to keep his coalition in place but everyone expects the govt. to crash and a snap election be called in the coming months.   https://www.timesofisrael.com/liberman-vows-no-compromise-on-idf-bill-as-netanyahu-tries-to-save-coalition/
