We know it’s getting closer and closer – the rockets falling in populated neighborhoods.  So far, no one is really hurt but it’s going to happen soon.  Sometimes I remember my neighbor in the Gulf War who had a target painted on her t-shirt.  

It would really be nice if the Islamic Jihad agreed to a ceasefire – they are the ones who are suffering losses because of their misfired rockets.  The Egyptians have proposed it – but who knows who is listening.  Until now the only proposals from Jihad have been for time to refill their rocket launchers.  I think it isn’t a wise agreement for us.

My friends on zoom complained that I said there were over 400 rockets on us, and they didn’t hear one in the 2 hours we were shmoozing.  That’s only because we’ve narrowed the range of the sirens to the specific targets of the rockets.  My grandson sat on his balcony yesterday and saw lots of rockets blown up in the air, but the neighborhood itself remained quiet.  

I just realized I haven’t worn pajamas for three nights.  

And now they’re saying there’s going to be a ceasefire tonight,  But it is clear that there’s going to be more for a while – guys who lost a friend in the fracas and need to revenge him, for instance.
