Now they have progressed to attaching bombs to the balloons.

I'd never heard of balloon bombs, how totally awful.

I'm touched. Thank you Margie, I always look forward to your comments. I wish you a good week too. xxxRachel Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113411205306116614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-26363841536852845562018-11-03T01:53:53.775+02:002018-11-03T01:53:53.775+02:00What a terrible week!

The shootings at Tree of Life were just horrendous - a woman originally from Toronto was one of the victims - members of many churches and mosques here are forming circles around various synagogues this weekend as a sign of solidarity and safety. Not to get too political but I almost choked when I read of Trump's saying that it could have been prevented if only they'd had an armed guard in attendance! What doesn't he get about a House of Worship!!!<br /><br />What a horrific crash - so sad that it could have been prevented with just a little bit of patience.<br /><br />I just do not understand the reason for not vaccinating children - it happens here with not only religious sects but with supposedly well educated and "liberal thinking" people. They are just too young to remember what it used to be like when measles or chicken pox or scarlet fever epidemics swept through communities. I remember when Polio vaccines were first brought to our school and how grateful our parents were that this dreaded disease was no longer a threat!<br /><br />We tend not to hear about the kind of attacks that your friends must endure - we only hear about the poor Palestinians and how evil Israel is - I hope you all remain safe and that this week is much better.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
