'We're having a blast.'
That's what I often reply to concerned callers. We have friends and family all over the country, in fact all over the world who have called. It's nice to hear from them. Their first question is how is everybody. After my attempt at foxhole humor my answer has been, "Everyone's okay, tfu, tfu. tfu." So far the Kassams have fallen all around us but not on anyone's home. One landed in our orange groves (a few broken branches and some orange juice). Two landed very close to the school which is closed and empty. One landed in the middle of Moshav Mivtahim right by their Bet Knesset [synagogue] and caught an 80 year old man returning home from services, out in the open. He received serious wounds but will recover.

A Miner's Life
What follows are excerpts from my grandfather’s diary, transcribed by his son (my uncle) Hugh, and posted online through the efforts of several relatives. We take job security and safety for granted these days. It’s interesting to look back just 110 years ago when such things didn’t exist. (Passages in parentheses are notes by my uncle.)
