Horrors of War Pictures, Primary Day in Indiana, The Rocket and Confession

Of note these past few days:

-via Arianna Huffington's blog, the horrors of war revisited with new found pictures of the aftermath of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The hideous aftermath.

-primary day here in Indiana. First time in a long time it makes a difference. Diane and I both took advantage of the mail-in-your-vote option which we did last Thursday. One thing for sure: Hillary is a fighter; hard to believe that she is still in there slugging it out. And it is very much not over. She got our votes.

-heard on the radio yesterday that Roger Clemens had apologized to his family and fans for unspecified mistakes in his past, a public confession of sorts with the hope that he will receive both his family's and the public's forgiveness, or maybe acceptance, that he is human after all. Just read the NYTimes article. You know, maybe that's not all that bad an idea, that we make this general confession every now and then, ask others to recognize that we are fallible. Of course, asking others to recognize that we are fallible doesn't necessarily mean that we are admitting to ourselves that we are fallible. Expect Roger Clemens still has a pretty fair opinion of himself; seems like that kind of guy.

Fine day to do just about anything. Like go vote. Like go golf.
