I was expecting such a barrage of rockets tonight about the time we were planning to celebrate the evening of the holiday.  We even moved the holiday meal back to the afternoon so no one would get caught in the booms.  But up to now it has not been much different from any other day.  Hizballah has been pounding the north, but Tel Aviv has had some close calls and some houses damaged but it isn’t as wild as I thought.  Is it possible that Iran wants to talk cease fire?  

I can’t imagine how wonderful even a cease fire would be for war-torn countries.  For me too.  Even though the post-trauma will not be easy in any way.

I’m still overwhelmed by the fact that we only had two sirens so far and its already late in the evening.
