Sleep? What's that? I've been up since 4 am thanks to mother nature waking me up with a thunderstorm, and here it is, 10 minutes to midnight.

This is how I lived before I got married. Funny how i revert to the old schedules when he's out of town. of course, his calling me at about 11:30 at night has something to do with that....

'Nite Knitting. Get some rest, if not sleep.

I admire all the thinking and reading you've done throughout your life. And am grateful that you share so much of it here. Class of '71?

Has Sadr got a clue as to what is in for him?

I'm wondering if it's the Big Showdown everyone's been talking about. If it is, I hope and pray that our troops and the Iraqi troops come through it victorious and unscathed.

This could be an interesting day.

And we get far too many "interesting days" around here.

the tactics of the Left were new and novel back then..nevermind that old creepy men in the Kremlin had alot to do with it...Now within a miiisecond I can spot agitprop..its old hat...thats what makes Sheehan such a joke...only she and a few of her circle take her seriously..for the majority its, "oh, not that again"..she might as well be in a flapper dress doing the Charleston.

"I'm not sure anyone (including myself) knows ;) It's got to be powering something useful other than home TV's and radios.

Is there a Dam nearby? What power boost would you need to push comms further? What industries are close to the station? Surely we can figure something out :)"

Are the hezzie tunnel complexes in S.Lebanon "electrified"?? (i.e. like with lights, electricity, ventilation system for exaust, fresh air, and power for communications,etc.???)

If those tunnels are connected to a power station, IMHO it would be necessary to take out the power to them.

Today is the anniversary of the arrest of Anne Frank.

It is also the anniversary of the day that in 1990 the European community proposed a boycott of Iraq. And we know where that led.

Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
