Heatwave

For 3 days now a sandstorm and heatwave is hitting us hard. The Electric Company could not match up with demand and thousands of homes had no electricity in this sweltering heat. It's been 40 degrees and the dust is making the sky yellow. The sun is blotted out. It's really bad weather for asthmatics. I've been indoors for 2 days now with this sandstorm blowing. People are coughing alot.

There's been cross-border violence and injuries ... today from Egypt. It won't escalate but it does sound unsettling. Left and right wing israelis are still holding counter protests against each other. Raids are still being conducted against palestinian cities and towns. Yesterday a father and child were seriously wounded ... innocent bystanders. That makes you think twice each time you want to go out ... will it be safe? Will I come home alive?
