This Bud’s for you! |
This morning, just standing from a sitting position (on the bus) caused either a micro-tear or a pulled muscle in the same leg (calf) that suffered a massive injury a few weeks ago. The pain is not quite as intense, but enough to cause conspicuous limping. The leg will not be bandaged. The mind just wasn’t prepared for yet another injury. Despondency set in rapidly, because there is no question that the physical body is deteriorating.
The estimated time for recovery is about a week. So, there won’t be any evening outings. Instead, vegetating in the mausoleum at the “old folks home” in Waikiki will be the sole nauseating activity. Currently, no adjustments were made to the workout regimen at the gym.
The Israeli-Hamas conflict remains an enigma with many unanswered questions. For one, why did the Zionists bomb civilian airports in Syria subsequent to the Hamas infiltration? And, of course, many of the rank-and-file peons in the “West” have no idea that Hamas was a creation of the Zionists to divide the Palestinians. Blowback, you think? Few people know any of the sordid history behind the 1948 Israel partition of the “land of Cana’an.” Isn’t this the time to learn more before “standing with Israel”?
On a side note, the book, “The Invention of the Land of Israel” by Schlomo Sand, is currently being read and proceeding to completion. This is the first book to be read in several years, the reason being that the trend in books now is focused on “woke”-ism.
Incidentally, people should not be wasting time by visiting and reading Notes. There’s nothing of value here. The list of approved Web sites are far more important. With that stated, readership is averaging zero to one daily. Thank you very much!
Addendum: The PDF copy of “The Invention of the Land of Israel” by Schlomo Sand is now archived and available for download. In view of the current Israeli-Hamas conflict, Schlomo Sand’s invaluable insight is more important now than ever.
I visit, read, and get up-to-date on your life once or twice week. I don’t make it to the approved Web sites, though. FYI.

Respectfully beg to differ, sir: given that Im on the cusp of being a senior citizen myself, with roughly similar disposition that you were/ are, your Notes are very insightful, food for thought, and all of that.👍
