Kesher Talk

Praise the heat: I don't do so myself - it is only in the mid-eighties in DC, and I am sweltering every time I set foot outside of my air-conditioned office. But Gil Shterzer (The Israeli Guy) offers a reason such heat waves are a good thing in the Holy Land:

It is starting to get more and more hot and humid here in Israel. I think today was the first of those hot disgusting days that we suffer from each summer in Tel Aviv and the costal area. Its not the heat that bothers me as those the humidity - together is a killing combination.

One good thing though: summer makes it much harder for suicide bombers to infiltrate unnoticed to crowded places. During winter they usually hide their explosive belt under a coat, but in during the summer only a fool will wear a coat. It's not impossible for them to succeed now, only its much harder.
