Today, we took our dog Willow to the dog park at our local national park, where dogs can climb on equipment and just run around off the leash. At the dog park, Willow seemed intimidated by 2 giant St. Berrnards also visiting there. with both of them constantly nudging and sniffing her. They seemed quite curious, as if not recognizing her as a fellow canine. She usually likes going to that park, but this time came right out and stood by the car door, anxious to leave.

Trump’s 14 point Iran deal leaked as president threatens to drop bombs again if Tehran doesn’t ‘behave’

Yahoo News, Among Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s supporters and critics alike, the mood is clear: President Trump’s peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran is not one that many in Israel like.

Certainly Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't like it nor does he ever want to go to trial for his various misdeads. What can Israelis do now. being so utterly dependant on the US? Meanwhile, Iranians are all out again, celebrating in the streets.. 

Following the initial agreement to resolve the Gulf conflict, Trump told reporters at the G7 summit that he now wants to put the Iran war completely in the "rear-view mirror."

 Gaza's children have been the major victims.

Nonetheless, Israel's attacks on Lebanon have continued unabated. Lebanon is apparently not included in the ceasefire 'deal'. with Israel.

Here's some news now from a former DC neighbor: "Voting for primaries for upcoming elections was yesterday.  As expected, it was heavily dominated by competitions for Democrats. Except for a Council At-Large slot, there was no competition for any of the Republican positions. But, there was a lot of hoopla on the Democratic side. We got almost 50 flyers advertising people running for office. 

I walked by your old house a couple of days ago. There was a sign up indicating that the house would have 2 units, one in the basement and the other consisting of the other floors.The National Guard people are still walking our streets."

Going back in history, a vassal would swear fealty to a soveriegn, providing

a foundational cornerstone of the medieval feudal system. In this reciprocal relationship, a vassal swore personal and military allegiance to his lord or sovereign. In return, the sovereign granted the vassal a fief (usually land) and promised protection.
