The Writer's Life 3/18 - Foiled

It is believed that the Obama administration had people on the ground in Israel trying to influence the election. It seems its current losing streak has continued. Although political alliances in Israel are tricky and have yet to be formed in the new government, it appears Netanyahu has held on to power, which must be very disappointing to the President and Secretary of State John Kerry, who share an entirely different world view than Bibi. It will be interesting to see how far the press delves into this matter, as meddling in foreign elections is supposedly illegal, although it has been done in the past by both parties. In the old days, it is believed the CIA arranged assassinations. Just last week the left labeled a group of 40 or so Republicans “unpatriotic” for sending a letter to Iranian leaders warning that any deal between the countries not approved by congress may be rescinded in the future. Of course, that is far worse, despite its truthfulness, than working to unseat a leader.


I made my annual visit to the dentist today. I have one cavity. It looks simple, although I was warned that if it's worse than it seems it may require root canal and a cap, which will be a big financial hit. I'll know on my next appointment. His practice has picked up. He now has a receptionist, a young woman who must be a Raiders fan, as her hair is silver and black. There's no muzak in this office. The radio is tuned to a classic rock station, albeit at low volume.


I went out at 11 AM not expecting to open the floating book shop. It was not as windy as I'd expected. With so many Russian books to offer, I couldn't resist the temptation. I put in an hour and a half before I surrendered to the elements. My thanks to the two kind folks who bought pictorials on art. By the time I returned from the dentist the wind had kicked up considerably.
