Deaths

Amaryllis and Calla lilies in bloom
My FB translation app and downloading app have been blocked for almost 2 months. Then yesterday suddenly they all worked again. Something fishy. Like I said before, someone's trying to hack into my FB and email and other stuff for a long time ... and the police sort of know who it is ... but nothing has been done to stop it.

This morning I received news of the deaths of 2 priest friends. One who served in the Holy Sepulchre for several years ... died suddenly from a heart attack back in Italy. The other is a much beloved teacher ... an indian salesian ... who died of cancer. He was elderly and all the students have treated him like a grandpa. He was always gentle and patient and smiling. Everyone will miss him much.

Yesterday saw demonstrations in several major cities in the country in support of the american who was killed in Minneapolis and also for the autistic man killed near my house. Demonstrations also took place in Palestine. To a large degree it was all violence free. Thank goodness. Israel is trying to prevent an angry uprising from the arabs by trying to fix relations. Even the Chief Rabbi has gone to the arab family to offer condolences.   https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/hundreds-across-israel-and-west-bank-protest-for-police-brutality-victims-1.8892819?fbclid=IwAR1SGsIRt5pe-h8P5JklzZ2rM67M-KTRGVYsiL1PSJShP9Arph3wqPN59UI   and   https://www.timesofisrael.com/fearing-us-like-unrest-police-minister-says-fix-needed-after-autistic-man-slain/?fbclid=IwAR2M8nfZj-hFC5xNYbx1IPIrHnOcu-MNDH7d-lei8TwYYScr48BOZB6gML0

And reports this afternoon is 7,500 students in quarantine and 43 schools closed because of the sudden spike in corona infections. 116 new cases have been detected in 24 hours. There just might be a new lockdown because of all the irresponsible and care-less attitude that has led to this upsurge. That's just terrible.
