Get Charged

In Israel a battery charger (charges 4 double A's) costs $30. No, actually they cost $60. First you buy one, lose it, spend three days looking for it, buy another one, then find the first one.

Where did this whole dreary day go, anyway. Oh, I remember. I was researching language programs. I was trying to decide whether to study Rocket German or Transparent Russian. I wasn't impressed with either, but then beginning lessons are always pretty dull. So for the time being I guess I will study neither.

There are an average of 12 rain days in Jerusalem during January and February. After that it tapers off to zero rain days in May, June, July, and August. Today it rained off an on, but the sun came out for a few minutes.
