A Heron, Poletops, Jim and Erin, and Ignatius on Bhutto

Pictures: The heron and the pole tops from yesterday's walk; Jim and Erin trying to catch the eye of Shirley Jeffers after breakfast at the Cabin this morning.

David Ignatius at WaPo writes of Benezir Bhutto, a woman he had met first at Harvard back in the 70's "...banging out stories about college sports teams with the passion of a cub reporter...." writes that "...Bhutto's killers targeted her because she was modern, liberal and unafraid....".

Rainy and cool at the moment though rain is supposed to be over by noon. Got books to read and the world to explore while waiting for the weather to clear. This afternoon I'm hoping for a long walk maybe with a club or two in my hand; if not, then a camera...

In the Blackwater book I'm reading, just finished a chapter on Fallujah which tells the story very differently than the one we were told through the American press. Blackwater security people were thought of as CIA operators and US Marines were thugs on a rampage killing innocents. Oh my.
