Reports say Margaret Hassan has probably been murdered. She was the head of CARE, an aid organization. She committed the horrible crimes of trying to help the people of Iraq. These are the people we are up against. Next time you hear a liberal whine that all the trouble in the MiddleEast is because of US actions and policy, ask them which policy, specifically, led some murderers to kidnap a woman who brought relief to needy people in Iraq and shoot her in the head. I can't think of one.

We've had higher than average temps here, in the 50s. Been foggy the last couple days.

Took the kids to their swimming lessons last night. Hanna had the goggles on for awhile, and now she can go under the water with ease.
