What is in the news?

In our local area, the number 1 story is the fires.

Justly so, as we have so many of them, that our

valley is filled with smoke from the many

fires around our area.  Some are close ..20 miles

as the bird flies... or the other two that are in the

other direction about 40 miles as the bird flies.

And not counting the one just over the Canadian

border and over in Spokane. We have even made

the national news on Good Morning America and

the nightly news.

But other news is mostly about the Rebel flag.. and

even Facebook has many voicing their views on it.

And the over kill of canceling Duke of Hazard

because they have the Rebel flag on top of the

car.  Even rumors of the man who owns the original

is going to paint over the Rebel flag and put the

American flag.  So much over kill.  I might agree

with the one on the capital flag pole in South

Carolina. But even that one should be up to the

citizens of that state. 

But what happen to the international news?

Did ISIS take a holiday?  That would be wonderful

if they did..  but it seems we are playing too much

time on trivia stuff, when there is a lot more

troubling things to worry about.
