Not Like You And Me

There's a guy that knows how to travel!


Einstein the Genius by Country Farm

Well Albert was a genius.
not like you and me.
he wrote one equation ever' day.
on mondays he wrote three.

mondays he wrote three.

Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out
your socks hang down.

Well a man flew in a spaceship
and he went a hundred miles.
He busted through the speed of light.
He came back a child.

yeah...

he came back a child.

Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out.
your socks hang down.

Well a man looked through a telescope.
till his eyes were red.
He looked through outer space.
He saw the back of his own head.

back of his own head

Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out
your socks hang down

Now I had a frame o' reference.
I laid on the fence.
along came relativity.
I haven't seen the damn thing since.

seen the damn thing since.

Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out
your socks hang down


Now a wave and a particle
were walking side by side
one turned to the other said:
"which one of us am I"?

"which one of us am I"?

Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out.
your socks hang down.

Yeah Einstien played the fiddle.
he loved to dance and sing.
If that aint genius.
Well that aint anything.

that aint anything.


Albert dance around.
Albert be profound.
Albert let your hair stick out.
your socks hang down.

Happy Bowling day! Koby's 8th

Down to the last frame!

The top row is the birthday boy's score. His father's score is on the last row.
I choked and my final score was 108.

Gutter Guards Rule!

Listening to Everyone's Prayers

Another Heart Warming "Only in Israel" Image

It's on my desk top now, thanks to israelreporter.com where you can find this and lots of other pictures from the anti-disengagement demonstration at Kfar Maimon.

This image gallery is the likely source of the picture. But it's been posted on lots of blogs. Here's a partial list to see more captions, explanations, and comments about this picture.

Anger Management Frisbe

I want to thank Sha!, an Israeli blogger who wrote a piece on Bill Goldberg, the modern day Jewish sports legend turned movie star.

Well I have something to add. Goldberg is not only an awsome athlete, he's also an anger management toy!

Meet Frisbe Goldberg!

I bought him for 15 Shekels at the toy store on Emek Refaim. I wouldn't advise going there to ask for one. He had run out of frisb Goldbergs last time I asked.

Just look at him when you're angry and grin - at him, and at yourself.

Some Talk About This Web Log (#1)

Today I'm gonna tell you a bit about this web log; some of its technical aspects as well as some of its personal aspects.

Other Voices From My Neck of the Woods
You may have noticed some links in the right collum under this heading. These are other web logs that I would like you to read.

treppenwitz
jerusalemrevealed

They aren't the only other blogs I read. I chose them because they both say things that I would like to say about life, love, relationships, parenting and this wonderful little (sometimes I wish it were bigger...) country we live in, but they say better. They are both very talented writers and put enough of themselves into their writting to walk the tightrope between entertaining and enriching all of us readers on the one hand and embarrasing themselves and their loved-ones on the other.

I'm really hoping that neither of them falls off!

Web Pages referring...
At the very bottom (or "foot" if you consider this a reference to a body part) of the page you'll find a little note indicating what links people have clicked in order to get to this website. This tells you which websites are helping people find my blog. With this feature I found out that there are a few Jewish bloggers who have added me to their list of links. There were two. Sorry you two. I can't remeber who you are right now.

Sometimes, I will comment on someone elses blog and leave my url. Sometimes people click those to get here and the name of the webisite I commented on will show up.

My biggest referer is the Efrat wikicitiies website, which seems to be down at the moment. Thanks David for listing me over there. I figured it was you since you listed yourself second but wanted to do something nice for me so you listed me first!

Rememberance Proposal

We just had Yom Hashoah and Yom Hazikaron Lehalelei Tza"hal. These two days are important for marking the sacrifice made by so many.

One way honor is given to the 6 million who perished in the holocaust and the thousands who died in battle defending the modern state of Israel and its people is by sounding a siren for a full minute as a signal for everyone to stand quietly and respectfully for the duration of the blast.

This year I noticed something that I never noticed before. The dogs in the neighorhood wined in pain because of the high pitch of the sound.

I think something should be done about this.

As far as I know, and I searched my memory for a few minutes, there is no Jewish law or custum that causes pain to animal. Dogs in particular are singled out by the Torah as worthy of kind treatment since they restrained themselves from barking the night of the Exodus from Egypt. The rabbis of Blessed Memory tell us that it was as a sign of gratitude that dogs are awarded treif meat by the verse in Exodus Chapter 11.

So I say, next year we should have that siren re calibrated (is that the right word) so that our actions to bring honor to humanity do not cause pain to furry friends

Snake Attack(ed?)

Look What I Saw on the Way to Work This Morning

Well its not exactly earth shattering news. But at least its timely.

I know what you're thinking. When is that guy gonna start posting things of interest to a wider readership? He's still writing about trivial things he encounters in his mundane existence! But you've got to admit a dead snake is a but more interesting than a frozen puddle and then a thawed puddle, and then a dried puddle, and then a littered puddle....


The Big Picture

Here you get an idea of the size of this beast. Do you notice the wound? There must be a story behind that wound. Let't take a closer look...


A Closer Look

You can't look at this without wondering what happened on the night of April 2 in thr grape fields behind the tennis courts of Gefen Street?

Any guesses? Write yours as a comment on this post!
