Weather It Is (More than Mischief)

Good Afternoon:

The weather patterns continue to oscillate in an early fall -- rather than summer -- pattern.

In fact, today's weather is really phenomenal. The temperates are mostly in the 20s (at least in the central mountains) and there is a cooling (and fresh) breeze.

Of course, the fresh breeze is good for getting extended flight times on any rockets fired from Gaza.  Hopefully, this won't be an issue too much longer -- provided that we arrive at the end point of this conflict.

For those of you familiar with "The Cat in The Hat:" After making quite a mess, we read "And then he was gone with a tip of his hat," leaving the two kids to wonder what just happened and what would happen next: "Then our mother came in, and she said to us two, 'Did you have any fun?'  Tell me. 'What did you do?'.

And Sally and I did not know what to say. Should we tell her the things that went on there that day."  Should we tell her about it? Now, what SHOULD we do?  Well... What would YOU do, if your Mother asked YOU?"

I can imagine that this is how our Prime Minister felt upon receiving President Obama's demand for an immediate ceasefire, but in this case,  it was the President (who may have the best of intentions), but whose decisions and policies are really no better -- if not worse in result than the  "Cat in the Hat."

Of course, the kind and type of mess he and Secretary Kerry would like to make would only need to be cleaned up with the sweat and blood of our children.  The media may call them "soldiers," but they are our children.

Don't expect the first couple of weeks in August to bring any summertime weather.
