I am still fine. No worries yet.
Turkey apparently started shelling and bombing parts of Southeastern Turkey today. It has not been confirmed as to whether they went into Iraq or not, but I am going to go ahead and say they did. This was pretty much to be expected. They say they are exploring every possible diplomatic option, but they also refuse to deal directly with the Kurds...so basically, there is no diplomatic option. And the public is pressuring the government to take action. There are soldiers missing; the PKK claims they have these missing soldiers. The Turkish people will not stand for 12 deaths, 8 soldiers and over a dozen injuries (mostly to civilians). The government has to take action or face forced resignation.
So for now, it is wait and see.
In other news...There's big nasty fires in California. One of the counties hit is San Diego, where my grandfather lives. He got evacuated from his home on Monday, I think. He got moved to some high school and has been living there for a couple days. He may have moved back already. The latest news reports I saw, however, said a bunch of people moved back to San Diego and then the fires turned again and now those people have to leave again. Hopefully he is not one of those people...
More news...There was an earthquake in Western Indonesia today. Preliminary magnitude of 7.1. It was off the coast of Sumatra, one of the Indonesian islands. My sister, however, is on a different island. So I am pretty sure she is safe.
So for all my family back in Richmond, thanks for staying safe ;-) I hear you got rain today, so no more drought, hopefully.
