Was able to run errands and get to Manahawkin for various supplies. A. stopped in after work. Other than that, the usual domestic chores. What's funny is not only do I not mind them, I actually enjoy them most of the time.
Saw the first episode of this season's "Little People, Big World." Matt went to Iraq to search out a family with several dwarf children. X-rays were taken and eventually, I guess, they'll be flown here for treatment--or something.
I thought it was very bizarre. Why did the military allow this? Of course, they'd like us to believe the whole reason for their illegal and immoral presence in the Middle East is to "help" people (while systematically killing and maiming, but never mind that). Presumably, they saw advantageous propaganda here, but it seemed odd. Well, no matter. Matt made it safely back to Oregon and the Iraqi family remained in dangerous squalor. Maybe the squalor is indigenous, but the danger--that kind of danger--isn't. It's an import from us.
