Keep Israel Alive, Part 2

Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, isn't all cold stone and arid desert. It is a diverse landscape with mountains and forests that are home to abundant wildlife and vegetation, occasionally snowing in the winter, and all overlooking the ancient buildings of the lower terrain and the holiest and most contested site in the world - Temple Mount. Temple Mount was the site of the 1st and Second Jewish ...

The Suffering (Chapter 6)

.... Why else would he have left? So now he had a plan. Matt grabbed his keys from the kitchen table left his home and lock the door. He didn't even bother to drive there. It had stopped snowing, and although the ground was still covered he marched, stomped, and at times just about pouted his way to the corner store. Five minutes later he stood on the outside of the glass doors looking in, he took...

.... *** Ville slipped out of his seat, adjusting his diaper bag, before he reach in to get Alexsi out. He balanced the cranky toddler on his stomach, as best as he could, so he could adjust his hat. It was snowing lightly, and he didn’t want the little boy to get a cold. “I know... you’re not used to coming here.... but I hope you understand... I’m doing this for you.” He waved to the cabbie and ...

Make a Wish

..., where his patients were waiting for treatment and counselling. He was whistling because he was supposed to feel happy and proud of himself and his life, but he just felt a bit miserable inside. It’d been snowing for days now, and it was just mid November. It looked like that winter was going to be bleak, long and hard, and not just weather-wise. He eventually got to his destination and, parking ...

Some stuff, haven't posted in ages.

... Harrison had the shortest term in office...exactly a month! While giving his inaugural speech, which just happened to be two hours long, President Harrison had no coat on or an umbrella..and mind you, it was snowing that day! Exactly a month later, on April 4, 1841, he died of pneumonia....sad, but true. NOTE: The black things on Harrison's face in the last panel are leeches! Back in the 1800s...

Just Visiting

..., his breathing even and quiet. It doesn’t fool Matt. “I love you, Near.” He doesn’t say it back, but because he is human, he allows himself to cry when Matt slips away quietly. 08) Winter It’s snowing and he shouldn’t be on the roof. But he’s Mello, and he doesn’t really care what he shouldn’t be doing, not right now, at least, because he really, really likes the snow. There’s a voice...

chicken ramen > beef ramen

...Helpful on the part of the meme-writer!) 15. What is your favourite type of weather and why? I like to sleep or read when it rains, drive when it's sunny (unless there's solar glare), cuddle when it's snowing, and play cards by candlelight when it's storming. (Oh god, that was treacly, where did that come from? I like warm weather and the sun, as long as it's not too hot, the end!) 16. If you...

Bedtime Story!

..., of the three of them, Billy recognizing Gian from an art exhibit he attended just a couple of years ago, with both Gian and Karina holding Dominic between them. In the picture, it was snowing and the three of them were wrapped in hats and scarves, Dominic standing out with his eyes an uncharacteristic brilliant blue, crinkled in laughter. It suddenly occurs to Billy that maybe there was more to ...

Starting a New Routine

...' CD's for me, which are good as well. So, I think that's the biggest things going on with me... I can't really think of too much else, the weather is finally turning around up here (Ironically, we got reports on Saturday afternoon that it was actually SNOWING in Sault Ste. Marie!). Our snowpile at the office finally fully melted over the past week. Have a Good One, and Thanks For Reading!

Namahage Sedo Matsuri

..., Namahage is probably (ironically?) geared towards a younger audience and I'm pretty sure her family was only there to traumatise her younger sibling. Safety first. Since it wasn't actually snowing, I can only assume that people had umbrellas to shield themselves from the constant shower of burning ash. It was coming from the bonfire that I was so terribly enamoured of. Before the ...
