Same sky, different world

     It's been a fairly nice evening here in central Florida.  My fiancee and her daughter are on the last couple of days of a mexican cruise, and I've been home and dog-sitting her 2 little poodles (who I just might be a bit fond of).  Part of the dog-sitting involves taking some time and walking the girls, and tonight's was nothing but pleasant.  It was good to take a bit of a stroll, the cool Florida evening under a cloudless sky was hard to beat.  And mostly, it was good to get away fromthe day's news- protests in Libya, protests in Egypt, protests in Bahrain, Iran and Tunisia.  An odd thought crossed my mind while on tonight's stroll.  What irony- peace in my world, chaos on the other side of it.  But all under the same sky.  Let's hope the other side of the world becomes more like ours sooner rather than later- so ours never becomes like theirs.
