morning bike ride
Sep. 26th, 2006 09:05 amStill finding it much harder going than usual, but I'm pushing the pedals around.
I saw a (small) herd of deer this morning! They were grazing in the yard of a house along Highland, and they skipped across the road into some woods and another lawn when they saw me coming, then watched as I rode past.
There seems to be a lot of digging going on in several of the properties along the street. And there were lights on in the little house at the end of the road (it looks like a nice little house, like the one my friend Jeff lived in in Williamstown; if I were going to stay here, I'd try to find out if I could buy it--no one's lived in it for ages, but it looks to be in good condition, just needs the yard worked on a bit.)

another mighty blow in the War on Terror

Fifty-six Kurdish mayors have gone on trial in Turkey, charged with aiding and abetting a terrorist organisation.
They were indicted after writing to the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen asking him not to close down Danish-based Kurdish Roj TV station.
The government in Ankara says the station is a mouthpiece for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
...
Turkey - as well as the EU and the US - views the PKK as a terrorist organisation.
The PKK implemented a five-year unilateral ceasefire after its leader Abdullah Ocalan was arrested in 1999, but resumed armed activities in 2004.
After Abdullah Ocalan's arrest it also dropped its demands for an independent Kurdish state, calling instead for Ankara to open a political dialogue, increase cultural rights for Kurds and release imprisoned PKK members.
But Ankara has so far ignored all such calls.
