Crazy Week

What in the world is going on, literally? First we have all the bombings in London for the G8 summit, then we have the terrible news of the man who abducted the girl from Idaho, NASA blew up something, and a Supreme Court Justice, no not that one, has retired, and two hurricanes have slammed into Florida, again.

For what it's worth, I think we've had enough crazy stuff happen lately. I just got back from vacation and am finding out what I missed is all this? The most maddening, however, is that on such a world scene as G8, our president is making headlines by his NOT agreeing to what the rest of the world knows - that science has proven we are globally warming and it is time to react. He doesn't even agree the world is getting hotter! I guess it never snowed in Texas anyway, whatever.

The good news, the Braves just swept the Cubs yesterday and have extended their league-leading winning streak to five games, and in so doing have pulled to within two and a half games of the Nationals. A small bit of comfort given the rest of the news.
