Day 1276 - Coming back from work today in a mall we encountered some traffic delays. At the beginning we didn't know what's going on, being the media disconnected people that we are but soon we learned that they is a big demonstration in the city and basically all roads are blocked. A swift action on our part and a little traffic violation enabled us to make it to the store so we could unload our boxes and we decided to leave the car in the store's parking and walk home since all roads seemed quite blocked. As we neared our house we found a police blockade and they did not allow anyone to go downhill there since in a near by neighborhood there were big demonstration. But looking old enough to be trusted they allowed us to go into the closed area and go home. So we made it home and sitting outside we could see the helicopter circling above and hear the demonstration but it was all from afar. but there is a lot of tension in the air and we could feel it in the shopping center, hearing people talk, and of course in the big showdown tonight.
Again, I pray for peace to come to our war ridden and hatred ridden area and I pray for a safe return of our troops. Two soldiers were killed today and several others got injured and it is so terrible. we raise generation after generation into this impossible situation that looks like a light years away from a peaceful solution. I pray for world peace and more so for peace for our country and our country people; god knows how much we all deserve this.
