Sunday has arrived, right on schedule. And now I have to get my body clock adjusted to the new time of day. I have already set a few of the household clocks to the “correct” time, but not all. It will take a few days to find them all.
It’s raining, of course…and more rain is predicted. According to the newspaper, we’re at 120% of normal rainfall already and Sierra snow packs are at record levels, with 267 inches as the maximum; that would be 22 feet of snow! And more is on the way this week.
The news has few bright spots these days and that’s normal…but what’s odd about the news is the fact that Iran and “Nukes” have been taken off of the front page. How did that happen? And the headline for today is, “U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Britain's Jack Straw flew in secret into Baghdad on Sunday in a dramatic bid to break a deadlock over forming a unity government that can halt a slide to civil war.” Knowing the history of the region, they are embarking (once more) on a Mission Impossible task. But empire builders never read history books. For them, history is not to be studied, but to be made.
What else is new this morning? “A slim majority of Americans are open to allowing undocumented workers to obtain some sort of temporary legal status to remain in the United States, with stronger support for the idea among Democrats, younger adults and more educated Americans, a new poll finds.” That makes sense. Now if only we could get them to vote.
