Tonight is the Perseid Meteor shower. I hope it is worth watching. Last fall there was an alleged meteor shower in which I saw.... nothing. So I hope tonight's will produce a better display.
Today was pretty low-keyed. We went to brunch at Sweet Tomatoes. It was OK. Just a buffet brunch with breakfast foods such as eggs, waffles, french toast, breakfast cereals, muffins, and so on. But it also had some of its regular lunch/dinner menu with things like salads, soups, fruits, breads, "pizza." It was a change for breakfast. This afternoon I uploaded more sketches to one of my other blogs: http://matts-sketches.blogspot.com . There are quite a bit of old things I uploaded, the most recent from 1990 and the oldest from 1983. Check them out if you get the chance. I also uploaded a couple of sets of pictures to our photoalbum today too. These pictures go back to this past Christmas. This evening Peter, Katie and the boys came over for dinner and so the kids can play. It was nice we grilled out and ate in (since we didn't have any deck furniture yet). But, Dan came by after coming back from DC with furniture from his dad's that we can borrow until he moves in down here. So we can put off buying deck furniture until next year.
Today's Headlines:
Italian Arms Investigators See Iraqi Ties
What seems to be the problem is that weapons are being sold to Iraq and funneled through many off shore companies before they make it to their destination. Where exactly are these guns are going is anybody's guess. But, if the legitimate government of Iraq were buying these weapons, why would they need to be "laundered" through offshore companies? The next question I have is, why did the Italian anti-Mafia agency make this discovery? Is the mafia running guns for Iraq? How deep does this go?
