As if the skies had been waiting for Rabin’s memorial, they opened today in full force. I sat in a traffic jam on the way back from the doctors for almost an hour listening to the radio – Ehud Barak on Rabin – feeling sad. Then Bill Clinton’s elegy for Rabin came on and I found myself weeping. Just like that.
As I shook out my umbrella I joined some neighbors in praising the rain – Even the old lady did a little dance. Then they opened their water bill for the month – the new tax law on water is enormous, it doesn’t even go to water conservation directly, and I think I’m going to protest it. But first, a bath.
