This gets old....

Her late husband was a good man who deserves respect. So does this lady.

BTW the former SO had a lot of relatives in that town.

Sad that people there would behave like that.

An earthquake like that would feel worse in Tuzla because of the many empty places in the ground.

Comments delayed... Žao mije...

Well, sometimes that 'new streamlined Blogger Interface' is more aggro than I care to deal with...

Today I am fasting. How well I get through it is going to determine if I go through the fast this year or not. I have done this before and know what are the signs of things going badly.

Mr. T. is not in any shape to fast. I want him to have a thorough physical exam in any case because it's been awhile.

He looks strong and fit, but he has medical issues. I flat told him don't try it even.

I think he feels left out a little.

Mostly I drank water. You actually should not eat heavily. It makes it harder.

I sat up awhile, since mass quantities of water had to work their way down.

Then I went back to lie down. I had six and half glasses of water. I got up to visit the washroom for each glass.


I am looking forward to my camel milk and dates later.

That little touch of acacia honey makes camel milk even nicer.

It helps the stomach greatly.

I had to tell Mr. T. to go ahead and enjoy his coffee. I said to him, 'It's fine if you have your coffee!'

He has his routines and doesn't like them interfered with. ت.

Mladić hospitalized

More malingering if you ask me...

St. Louis, Mo. has more Bosnians from Srebenica than anyplace else. To go through the airport there is to see and hear many of them.

Srebenica Genocide Anniversary:

I can remember when I heard the reports of the massacre in Srebenica and knowing it was so much worse than the initial reports. I can remember how angry it made me.

It's not all that long ago.

Every time the world collectively says

'Never Again!' the same thing happens again somewhere.

That is the part that makes me really sad, that within a few months or a few years, it all happens again.

Storms:

We had major storms last night. Mr. T and I filmed them and watched for hours.

The storms caused a couple fires in the next town over.


Today's Bosnian news:


Karadžić fails to get all charges dismissed:

I was in a Sarajevo Internet café watching the burials in 2008. It was a hard thing to watch, not only as TV viewing but in the company of people who lost loved ones in the war.

Happy Fourth of July

To all my American readers!

To my English readers, I am glad all of us get on better!

To my Irish readers, if Martin McGuiness can shake the Queen's hand, it is a sign of hope.

To the rest of the world...
