No Place Like…

Despite swimming pool malfunctions, and a false alarm siren, the Rock of Galilee is really glad to be back up north:

We had a nice BBQ last night and I tried to put up the swimming pool for the kids, but it didn’t work. The ground was too slanted. I’m probably going to dig up the ground and make a flat surface. There’s a lot of that kind of work that I have to do before the winter comes. I have a strong feeling that I am not going to get most of my summer work done this year because of the war. It will take a little while before things get back in order.

Today there was a siren malfunction and it went off in areas northeast of us. Completely freaked people out. I heard stories of people jumping out of windows, though that seems a bit exaggerated to me. If you jump out of your window that doesn’t do anything for you. A moving target is only harder to hit if they are aiming at you. If they are shooting randomly, a moving object is just as likely to be hit as one standing still.

It was good to sleep in my own bed last night and it is good to be home.
