Protesters

On the way back from the beach tonight I witnessed a rather large gathering of Palestinian protesters . I feel cultured. I am not sure of my opinion on the bombing of the Gaza Strip but I do know it only took one event (9-11) for the USA to pick a country to blame. One does have to admire Israel for the amount of patience they have demonstrated over the past years. We are living in scary times. Pray.

Street View

For those of you that still read this I would like to encourage you to pick up a Windows Mobile powered device. After you do so go to www.google.com?ggm on your phones browser or to Google Mobil on your computer and download google maps for you phone. If you have done so and have not gotten the recent update that includes street view than I highly recommend you update the program. I just did and am amazed. Google has gotten me out of some tough spots around St. Louis and street view will only be a further aid. The next time I am north of the Arch in St. Louis, I will not only be able to look out at the bombed out buildings through the window of the truck but be able to confirm that I have ventured into the DMZ of St. Louis via my Tilt.

By the way North St. Louis is only second to East St. Louis but you have to cross a bridge to get to the east. North is far to easy to wander into in my opinion.
