May
Sharav – the hot wind blows through the sinuses and makes everyone think they’ve got the swine flu. Even my dog is wheezing more than usual. Tomorrow will be even worse – the hottest I remember- and it is hard to tell if what is going on around here is a fata morgana as a result of the weather or just the usual madness. For example, we got three new ministers today but we still don’t have a minister of health. What with the swine flu at our door it really seems like that would be a good idea. Here’s another example: We’re giving the town of Rajar ‘back’ to Lebanon, even though belonged originally to Syria. What? Maybe I’ll just take a pill and go to sleep and hope that tomorrow is a bit more sane.
This friday, 8/5/09 at 8:30 there is going to be a walkathon in memory of Benji Hillman, who was killed in he second Lebanon war. the tickets are 100 NIS for grownups and 50 NIS for students. All the money is going to building a warm house for lone soldiers (חיילים בודדים). you can register at www.benjihillman.org
