Amber leaves reflect;
Still images on water
That must always move.10.13.03
The leaf lingers yet –
When the time comes, it will fall
Regardless of will.10.13.03
A full moon shines bright –
Weeks ago, it gave no light,
But it has not changed.10.13.03
This leaf turns yellow,
But that one is a brilliant red —
Lazy yellow leaf.10.13.03
The grey sky looks cold –
But summer’s heat has grey skies
As does winter’s chill.10.13.03
Stray cat runs around
Does he not know winter comes?
What is he thinking?10.13.03
Little acorn there,
You may be an oak or lunch –
Which would you prefer?10.13.03

No time for a full post today, but those have been sitting in my notebook for too long. A couple of them are pretty bad, but some of them are passable. The post they were going to accompany was going to discuss my procrastination problem. Ironic, no?
In the news:
International
* Personal prediction – Those Americans killed in Gaza is going to have a big fallout.
* It is starting to be recognized that the war in Iraq has resulted in greater recruitment and dedication by terrorist organizations. The left will say “see, it goes completely against our goal, it is increasing terrorism”. The right will say “if we’re going to win the war against terrorism, we have to bring the terrorists out to fight.” Both are kind of right.
The way I see it, the current plan seems to be: Tick off everyone who we can, and kill those who get angry enough to oppose us with violence which will leave only those who agree with “us” or will roll over and take it.
Hail Ceaser. Oh wait, they eventually got wiped out. That’s the problem, no one stays rolled over forever.
National
* When BushII was running for office, there was a lot of concern that he was just his father’s pawn. I’m not sure what surprised people more. The fact that this doesn’t appear to be the case or the realization that it would be better if it were.
State
* (ok, maybe it is national) First Ventura, now Schwarzenegger. Quick, someone check the cast for Predator I to find out the next celebrity governor!
* Speaking of Gubernatorial candidates, I ran into Ken Pentel the other day. He is currently working with The WATER Foundation and the Living Arts Center : http://www.bogfrog.com/
Local
* The police chief called in the FBI to investigate two officers after they were accused of a pretty brutal assault on a gang banger in a drug raid. One of them is the same guy who has been accused of beating of an 11 year old kid whose aunt happened to work in the Mayor’s office.
* They did a cool new mural on the side of 7 bridges world market. The unveiling is at 5:00 on Saturday.,
Other
* Daisy Cutter may be playing a house party in just over a week. We’re not ready yet, but it will be pretty informal so what the heck.
* Blah Blah Blah.
