Not very walking related, but it's just occured to me how much we've learnt
our lesson. Enjoy remembrance day safe in the knowledge that there will
always be fresh veterans to remember. I wonder how many people got shot dead
during those two minutes of silence we've just had?

Todays Headlines:

Dutch end siege on terror suspects
'Car bomb' hits central Baghdad
N.Korea not keen on 6-way nuclear talks
Palestinian militant say Arafat was killed by Israelis
Foreigners Evacuated from Ivory Coast
Japan chasing mystery submarine

There were more but I got bored.... I need a hill dose.

Sickening, isn't it? At least we are not interfering much in Sudan.
:-(

Inscription on the local war memorial:

"They willingly left the unachieved purpose of their lives, that all
life should not be wrenched from its purpose".

It made an impression on me when I first read it, so I made it my task
of remembrance to memorise it.
