All I can think of was that when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land, they were confronted with the Canaanites, who sacrificed their children to Moloch.

I am trying to understand a culture that produces photos such as this. All I can come up with is satanic evil.

And yet the whole blankety-blank world is calling the Israelis the bad guys!!! I guess they are none so blind as they who would not see.

In news on the home front for us ......

..... things not going well for daughter at all. The Jerk refuses to settle anything so now we are going into "discovery" ..... which is a nice way of saying continued abuse .... court-sanctioned abuse!!!. The weekend and this week have been a nightmare of trying to put together documentation of everything that has happened in the last 3 years .... which was long before the separation and HE has all those documents but is demanding them of her. Much anger on our part!!!

Major problems with the business. Two employees have made major goofs since last night ..... one may cost us a huge chunk of our revenue ..... *sigh*

The house next door is for sale. It's a very long story.

..... They kept to themselves except for the very public fights among the kids .... we never even met them in 7 years ..... a woman and an assortment of kids ..... we think a variety of fathers, none of whom was apparently a husband ..... and no father-figure in the picture.

..... Weeks ago on several different days they backed up a U-Haul and moved belongings out. A few days later, the county police showed up and posted a foreclosure notice.

..... Yesterday evening a young lady (well, young to me .... she's got 3 kids, the oldest one being 12) knocked on my door to see if I knew anything about how to get up with the lady who owns the house. Seems that she and her family want the house badly .... she showed up at the foreclosure auction last week. Someone was outbidding her and her real estate agent finally told her to bow out. There are further options so she hasn't lost the house yet.

Here's the really good part .....

..... the man who was bidding against her ..... and who, right now, has the highest bid ..... was wearing a turban!!! .... and robes.

YIKES!!!

It's not been the best week for me ..... :-(
