Mr. Mubarak, Tear Down This Wall!

Ok, so Hosni Mubarak ain’t exactly Mikhail Gorbechev. But he sure is powerless to stop the deluge of Palestinians into Egypt! Run, Gazans, Run! I hesitate to make any predictions of what will come of this, but it’s got the potential at least to be a big deal. News reports are very inconsistent about how many Gazans have crossed the border (doubtless confused by people going both directions), but some estimates are as high as 350,000. Minutemen, eat your hearts out. Anyway, this is news worth paying attention to. I’m sure the Israelis are.

In other news, I signed up for an astronomy class—just for fun. I’ll buy the telescope after I learn a thing or two!
