The world is collapsing around our ears; I turned up the radio.
On the drive home this morning, I heard that there were election irregularities in the Ukraine, and lots of people gathered, in Kiev, to protest and/or just be there and be loud.
I found it a scary sign of normality that there would be difficulties in that part of the world. I grew up hearing about difficulties in that part of the world, and I think that, really, given what I know of the area's history, when there are difficulities with a lot of people making noise about it in the former USSR countries, it's business as usual.
My giggle-moment on hearing the news item was a purely Fiddler on the Roof musical-geek moment, as I was saying, "...in Kiev!" to myself, very inappropriately.
