ABC News: Laura Bush Lauds Progress in Afghanistan

More good news for women in Afghanistan.

ABC News: Laura Bush Lauds Progress in Afghanistan: "Mrs. Bush's trip, kept secret until the last minute for security reasons, was timed to coincide with a meeting in Kabul of the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council. The group, formed in 2002, promotes private-public partnerships between U.S. and Afghan institutions to help Afghan women gain the skills and education deprived them under years of the Taliban."

"The first lady's stops sought to put a positive spin on conditions in Afghanistan where millions of women and girls have returned to work and school since the Taliban was ousted. Equality before the law is embedded in a new constitution, and some women have abandoned the head-to-toe public veiling that was mandatory under the tough Islamist regime."

A car accident -->> lots of mail

I was in a car accident last week. No injuries, not much damage to my car. 15 pieces of US Mail arrived (and counting!) since then. All representing either chiropractics or lawyers. Is this the modern ambulance chasers? I have thrown them all away unread. Perhaps my loss, but I am suspicious of those that watch the police reports and send out stuff based on it. Better than spam I supposed and they are probably legit practitioners, but it just doesn't feel right.

a small child and a VERY tolerant dog. and a very funny writer.
