Bombing Syria

I guess that I'm sort of OK , on that. However , there are cities there that are reknowned in history. Damascus etc. In ' Lawrence of Arabia ' Prince Faisal talks about hanging gardens and street lamps in the 4 th century. 
And according to the News of the World , you've got 85 countiries that could be in the same boat as Syria , more or less. Oops.
Yeah , where do you stop.
You know , not such a good idea after all.

" For heathen heart that puts her trust 
In reeking tube and iron shard
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word
Thy Mercy on Thine people Lord "

Rudyard Kipling , from the ' Recessional ' , approx 1880


As well, the Syrian army has moved missiles into the city in residential areas. The troops are deployed throughout the city and away from barracks.

Weather is fall-like. Cool and sunny.

Booked a yearly physical. The last one was Jul 2010. Oops. Let that one slide , hunh.

Listened to the ' 12 French horns ', this morning making muffins. Aha , slid that gem in , right. Muffin day , is fragrant and rewarding.

Computers. I tried to back up my files and programs. I put in a 8 Gb flash drive. The 'puter hemmed and hawed and then got started. Part way through , a window pops up , ' tape is full , insert new media.
When  I checked , the display for the flash drive said ' 4.1 Gb ' , in other words its 1/2 full. Maybe ,8 Gb doesn't mean what I think.
