It is absolutely beautiful outside!! Bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky. I may actually be able to drive somewhere tomorrow!

I have come to realize why American news doesn't pay attention to the rest of the world. I used to think it was that we were conceited and didn't care about the rest of the world. Well after being stuck with only CNN for the past 3 days I have seen what the news for the rest of the world is. It is nothing but war and terror. I have not seen one positive story. Even a story about all the Muslims travelling to Mecca for a holy trip is tainted with talks of terrorists attacking and how they are preparing for it. I think they should focus on teaching those of us who know nothing about Muslims about why they go there and what they do. Wouldn't the news be better if it taught the world about other people? Maybe there would be less violence for them to report on. It's all very depressing and I should stop watching it as it makes me just want to go back to cushy La Crescenta and hole up and pretend the rest of the world isn't out there fighting and killing each other.
