It's oh so quiet

Thought I'd give you a slice of life.

Had a very busy day, brother and I drove to Tel Meggido to be with my sister Leigh, her family (seeing as it was to celebrate my Nephew's third birthday)and walk around the archaeological ruins from the various Bronze and Iron Ages which litter that part of our fair country.
It being the end of Sukkot Holiday and just before the rains (we hope) start.

Tel Meggido is a.k.a Mount Meggido which is a.k.a Armageddon.
Needless to say, on top of regular families like ours walking around and enjoying the view and the History of the place there were also American tourists taking a closer look at where the Final Conflict Between Good and Evil is said to take place.
Personally, I'm far more inclined to believe the End will come via some Bureaucratic mishap... or somewhere in the English countryside... either way it would make more sense than taking the word of a brain addled, drug addict martyr who was being completely allegorical and was actually talking about ROME and the Emperor Nero and not the Devil and his workers so much.
And the world keeps turning anyway.

Tomorrow the parental units are returning from China, and normality will be restored in the Barron house-hold, I'd like to think my brother and I kept it together very well, after all there are no dirty dishes in the sink, and the washing machine is spinning mightily on.

I have to admit it's been a weird summer what with barely seeing my parents, me being away and them being away multiple times... it seems there's finally going to be a reprieve of traveling and everyone will be doing what they have to in their lives.

Mummy will go back to the teaching with no break until December.
Daddy will go back to the Pharmacy and work the hours he always does.
And me... I'm going to Uni...
Gah.

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

I find that the more "God Fearing" a person is, the less they know the actual History of their religion or have a very warped perception and interpritation of the text.

These are people from every religion, mind, not just the Judeo-Christian and Muslim variety.

That's my experience, too. All the people I've known who actually seem to know the details of the Bible are skeptics or atheists. What I meant by my original statement is that I don't even know anything except the pop-culture generalizations that, for instance, a typical American Jew or Muslim might know.
