Good news…the night time temperatures have lowered considerably and I’m filling the house with cooler air once again. Bad news…our outdated A/C unit has made our power bill rocket out of sight. Now we have to go shopping for a new one. Is there a bright side to this? I suppose a new and energy efficient unit will also give us some wintertime savings. Considering the cost of new unit, it had better save a lot of money!
Today is a travel day as we go south to Roseville for my semi-annual dental exam. What fun! But since we haven’t been there for quite awhile, the sightseeing will help to make the trip enjoyable. I’m sure Roseville will have added more shopping centers, more homes and more traffic.
Is there any world news worth mentioning? Of course! (That doesn’t mean it’s good news.)
UN chief Kofi Annan "I am shocked and deeply distressed by the apparently deliberate targeting by Israeli defense forces of a UN observer post in southern Lebanon that has killed two UN military observers, with two more feared dead," Annan said on Tuesday in a statement released in Rome.
Israel claims that “apparently deliberate” is wrong and that they will investigate. Perhaps they can investigate the case of the two Red Cross ambulances that were targeted and destroyed as well? It was quite disturbing to see film images of a white ambulance with Red Cross symbols on it…and a large shell hole punched through the roof. Those who say that these incidents are just a regrettable part of war are speaking obscenities! Everything about a war is regrettable...and avoidable. I sometimes think that Israel and Hezbollah deserve one another.
