On the story of the three murdered Israeli teenagers and the murdered Palestinian boy: Just when I want to avert my eyes from the whole situation and say that we’re kindred in nothing but name (bonus Stan Rogers / Irish Troubles reference) comes a story like this one, about people snatching hopes for peach from the jaws of war and tragedy: Families of slain Israeli and Palestinian teens comfort each other. People read stories in the news and talk about God producing miracles; in my view, that’s just lazy thought and trusting to luck instead of building your own miracles. If God is in that situation at all, it’s as the spark of Light within those people.

On the ever-expanding washer saga, we still don’t have a date for repairs to begin, but now we have a date for the washer to be delivered – today. Yes, it would be smarter to have the new one put in after repairs are made, which is precisely why I rescheduled it for July 19 when they first told me (on July 4, surprisingly) that it would be today. Apparently that somehow never got into their system. So now we’ll have to have it installed (so we can do laundry) then removed to put in the new flooring and reinstalled. More chances for error and further damage.

I’m keeping a full timeline here; it is getting very long.
