Sunday, August 21

Winds returned this afternoon and fluttered the colorful peace flags we stretch across the sidewalk these days.  9 folks with conversations flowing through a wide assortment of topics.  Several hostile shouts and a car sending mixed messages with the backseat passenger giving us a cheery wave & thumbs up while the driver scowlingly flipped us an angry thumbs down.  I pondered the conversations that might ensue in that car crowded with four men.
how many acts of hot & deadly war punctuated the decades of the Cold War?  we recited a list of what we could name. grim & ugly behavior on the part of our government.  Did the placement of the Shah as Iran's ruler count as war - hot or cold?
