Cool

2 pigeons on our steeple

 Spoke too soon about silence at the borders. Last night Syria fired something into Israel, which landed somewhere in north Tel Aviv. Israel in turn fired missiles into Syria. But there's no cause for panic. I think it's just posturing. No one wants a war in the middle of a pandemic.

And talking about pandemics, apparently Israel has the highest number of infections per capita in the world. Still the mortality rate is dropping. We need to distinguish between the two ... infections do not mean deaths or hospitalization. And Israel is the first country to mobilise 3rd vaccine shots. That's very advanced because many countries haven't even finished their first round. And children above 12 yrs can also be vaccinated. That is comprehensive vaccination. 

Weatherwise, it's cooling down alot during the nights. It's down to 19 degrees now, though daytime still hovers around the 30s. It's also alot more humid and every morning the ground is wet with dew. That's making the bulbs grow ... as they think it's Spring. If it snows this winter, these early growing bulbs will die.

On Sunday the Jewish High Holy Days will begin, and already police have placed barricades at the City Gates and restricting vehicles from entering. It's a 4 week long celebration so I hope this won't cause too much disruption in our daily routine to go to work. Fingers crossed, all will be peaceful.
