What is going on in Afganistan so reminds me of what happened when the Americans pulled out of Vietnam.  They threw down their weapons and let the Viet Cong take over the country.  So be it then.  If the people don't want to fight using the weapons and training the US gave them, they can just take the country back and leave them to fend for themselves.  I hate what's going to happen to girls and women, but they have only their own MEN to blame.


Been following the rising number of deaths in Haiti from that earthquake.  Now they are up to 700 dead and counting.


Dave - The shed looks great.  Thank Kathi for us for posting those pictures.


By the way, those really were only shot glasses at the tasting.  The picture makes them look huge!  The friends we had breakfast with this morning are the same ones we were at the tasting with last night.  The one who is the retired doctor gave me a present at the brunch - A bottle of scotch that they bought last year while they were in PA.  They don't drink scotch, but know I will drink it once in a while.  This is from a private distillery called Jackass Distillery!  I'll give  it a try later. :emoticon 0102 bigsmile:


House i s very quiet right now.  The crew are off to buy some more school uniforms for Nathan.  He's outgrown everything and they couldn't find  anything for him just before school opened.  I hope they will have better luck this time going to a few different stores than last week.


Time for me to return a phone call to son in NC.  He called just as we were walking out the front door heading for the library.  I told him I'd call him back as soon as we got home.  Instead, I'm typing this post to my cyber family instead of talking to a real family member! ;) time to make that phone call.  Later, gang!:)
