Well, now I'm back home in Cinci. I have mixed feelings. I was amazed to see how dry everything is. We have 5 inches less rain then normal for this time of year. Lawns are brown, trees are dying. It's nice to see friends again. Went to an IJPC (Intercommunity Justice and Peace) meeting and it was wonderful to see everyone working on really important issues. Our congressman, Steve Driehaus, says his constituents aare not contacting him about the war in Afghanistan. So we are getting signatures from anyone who opposes the war and wants to spend the money saved on job creation. Of course, UU's (Unitarians) and others are signing. I think I can get about 50 signatures without too much effort. People are so numb on the issue, it seems. It's "over there," it's not their kids who are fighting, so they're not giving it much thought. Meanwhile there's no money for job creation, schools, public transportation, etc. I'm on a rant. I guess I'll stop now. Tomorrow I'll get some good pictures on a happier subject for you.
