Skeletons, etc.
Gotta put on a rain poncho and splash out to the garage. I must find the big Halloween skeleton for Benny. Also, I forgot that today is make a meringue skeleton day with Benny. Bad, bad meringue weather. Too much rain and humidity.
Last night somehow I accidentally set the upstairs TV to Fox News at bedtime and was too sleepy to notice. Then at 5:00A.M. when I woke up and began to listen, at first I was glad to have the news on so that I could hear about all the rain. However, I soon got fed up with other "news" except for the part about the Israeli soldier that is the center of all the fuss. Boy, oh, boy. One thing you must say for those Israelis, they do not take it lightly when even one person is lost. This whole war over the last few days is about one teen-aged soldier. If I were his mother, I'd be thankful that the top brass has a policy of nobody gets left behind/nobody gets kidnapped. The US marines say that's their policy, too, but I don't know if the entire US military would go after one scared young kidnapped soldier like the Israelis are doing right now. This seems fair in a country where every single able-bodied teenager, boy or girl, must do a stretch in the military. Anyway, I'm really rooting for Israel on this one. I want them to get that boy back. Suspense. Drama. Reminds me of that little, story kids tell at camp, "I Want My Bone," where someone comes across a skeleton and takes a little bone. Then that night in the dark, far away a small voice is heard saying, "I want my bone." The bone thief shivers and hides under the covers of his bed as successively the voice gets closer and louder until finally, unable to stand the suspense any longer, the thief holds the bone out from under the covers and yells, "TAKE IT!" I'm hoping the kidnappers do that with the boy held prisoner as Israeli forces close in on them, shove the kid out into the street and yell, "TAKE HIM!"
