hey, CG! Long no, no chat.

I believe I've officially entered Old Fartdom. I bought a magnifying glass with a little bifocal insert so I can read small print, like street names on maps.

How are you doin'?

Just random speculation here, but I am wondering if there is some kind of connection between the arrest of the white Muslim lawyer in Portland Saturday and the discovery of Peter Berg's body on Saturday in Iraq.

The lawyer, Brandon Mayfield, was taken into custody because his fingerprint was identified on a shopping bag of detonators in Madrid just after the series of synchronized bombings on trains back on March 11. The detonators were activated by cell phones. This is a common ploy used by Al Quaeda lately, especially in simultaneous bomb attacks in a city - a similar series rocked Casablanca, Morocco last May. The majority of the many suspects in the Madrid attack are Moroccan Muslims.
Nick Berg was in Iraq supposedly to set up some kind of cell phone service there. When I read "cell phone" I immediately thought of the terrorist attack tactic. Who funded this trip of his, and did he have any equipment or technology with him? Who would he seek out to be partners or clients?

Hi, doing good.been busy with house guests..everyone is gone now so I have time for other things...like yard work yuck.

Val..great pics of flowers.

little inserts so you can read? Maybe an eyecheck up would be better and then get some neat progressive lens..no lines and ya can see real good too.
I need special specs for the computer..and I like them..slightly tinted and cuts the glare.\

Got to say that when I am doing genealogy things some census reports are so hard to read that I have a spy glass that I look through..LOL
