Half of me wants to write like you.

The other half wants to run right out and buy a plaid skirt and saddle shoes.

I stayed with you till the part about measuring the skirts.
I went to an all girls catholic high school in the 70’s. The nuns actually did that.
I got in after you were made to were white gloves to school and beanies, but not before you were allowed to wear pants.
What can I say. I am a strong, strong person today!!!

Thanks for updating me. I teach so much on Tuesdays (four 75 minute classes and one 180 minute class) that I come to Wednesdays as out of a cave.

NZ, Don’t know any more than you. They’re not allowed to travel with Blackwater for the time being. Must be till Rice succeeds in reversing the ban.

iirc - they’re not allowed to travel with ANYBODY outside the Green Zone is what I heard.

I just woke up to the news that Embassy personnel in Baghdad are confined to the Green zone (or even the Embassy itself), as they are now forbidden to travel with Blackwater. Anything in the print news on this? Was it discussed while I was trapped in a labyrinth of dreams?

Have seen it several places on-line also on idjit box but don’t have linky to give you.

By The Associated Press and McClatchy Newspaper

BAGHDAD — The U.S. on Tuesday suspended all land travel by U.S. diplomats and other civilian officials in Iraq outside Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, amid mounting public outrage over the alleged killing of civilians by the U.S. Embassy’s security provider Blackwater USA.

The move came even as the Iraqi government appeared to back down from statements Monday that it had permanently revoked Blackwater’s license and would order its 1,000 personnel to leave the country — depriving U.S. diplomats of security protection essential to operating in Baghdad.
