I love Sarasota as well, though I no longer live there. My roots are in the rural Midwest.

Wonder if Iran's "humanitarian aid" will make it to Lebanon.

I'm surprised he hasn't tried! Or some shyster lawyer hasn't tried to get him to do it. Maybe he's afraid he'll get busted for the beer....

The afternoon/(late morning show in the US) is on:

Jul. 20, 2006 11:43 | Updated Jul. 20, 2006 18:29
Barrages resume Thursday afternoon
By JPOST.COM STAFF

Hizbullah resumed its attacks against northern Israel on Thursday afternoon as 8-10 rockets fired at northern Israel landed in the Galilee region. No injuries or damage were reported.

In total, about 40 rockets have been fired at Israel on Thursday. A total of 116 rockets were fired by Hizbullah at Israel on Wednesday.

Earlier, a series of rocket attacks near Moshav Avivim on the Israeli-Lebanese border sent residents into bomb shelters.

Five rockets also landed in the Upper Galilee in a renewed rocket assault from Hizbullah cells in south Lebanon. Five rockets also landed in Safed and two Katyushas fell near Tiberias. No casualties or damage were reported in any of the attacks.

Residents of Nahariya and the Galilee north of the Acre-Amiad road were instructed Thursday morning to remain indoors, inside fortified rooms or bomb shelters.

Earlier on Thursday morning, an alert siren sounded in Tiberias warning residents to remain in protected areas.

A warning siren in Haifa early Thursday appeared to be connected to rocket falls elsewhere, since there were no reports of rockets hitting the city.

You don't deal with termites bent on destroying your house by giving them one of the bedrooms to chew on and then try to seal off the remainder of your house - and yet the UN keeps asking Israel to cede territory in the name of peace.

Iran's version of humanitarian aid = terrorists and weaponry.

I heard that when we were watching the missiles go up. It really isn't a new piece of the equation. They want to bomb their enemies and start a Caliphate ruled by Shiite Mullahs.

Thank you. :)

My 7 year-old daughter is pressuring me for lunch, so I'd better go.

Sometimes the contrast between the complex, serious situation and potential consequences, and living with children (my daughter is very, very concerned about the boo boo on her knee, since she fell yesterday, and it really really hurts and it's serious, Mommy!) overwhelms me, you know?

Anyway, take care, KAC.

Try not to be upset. Kofi hasn't won this thing yet. And I don't believe he will.

Rockets rain down on upper Galilee

Rockets land on kibbutzim in Har Meron area in upper Galilee, no reports of injuries
Ahiya Raved

After a day of relative calm, with the firing of lone rockets at Carmiel, Tiberias, and other areas in the Galilee, sirens have gone off again at around 5:45 p.m. in the upper Galilee.

Rockets fell near one of the kibbutzim in the Har Meron district in the Galilee. The rockets exploded in open territory and no injuries or damage were reported.

During the afternoon, at around 1 p.m., an air raid siren was heard in Haifa. No rocket attacks took place on populated areas however, and some rockets may have fallen on open territory.

Some Haifa residents told Ynet they heard explosions in the city before the siren went off.

The areas of Nahariya, Akko, and all of the western Galilee communities heard sirens, and residents were told to enter shelters.

At 5:30 a.m. Haifa residents awoke to the sounds of sirens, but they were no rocket landings in the area.

Residents of the north are currently under instructions to remain in protected structures for the seventh day in a row. Until now rockets killed 15 civilians – including two brothers killed Wednesday in Nazareth. Dozens more have been injured. 14 soldiers have been killed since Hizbullah's first attacks last Wednesday.

Other developments:

The UN's World Food Program said on Thursday that hundreds of thousands of people in Lebanon, fleeing their homes because of Israeli bombing, are finding it increasingly difficult to find food and other essentials.

IAF attacked a terrorist cell in the Al-Mouazi refugee camp, in central Gaza; the terrorists apparently attempted to fire an ant-tank missile at IDF forces. The IDF reported that two members of the cell were killed and four others injured. However, Palestinian sources say that only one Palestinian was killed.
