Let's take a deep breath. Ahhhh.... Doesn't that feel better? Most
wars are with simple misunderstanding. Let's endeavor to keep the
afternoon as pleasant as the weather in part of California today. High
60's to the low 70'sF with a very light breeze. It's just delightful.
No skirmishes allowed today.
