Korea!

Bombs Away!
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!

My teacher kept asking me about nuclear weapons today. Or something. Because of North Korea testing their missiles. I couldn't quite figure out what she was asking me, though. It could have been: 1)What does the United States think about nuclear bombs? 2)What does the United States think about what North Korea just did? 3)What do you think about what's happening? Or something else. She said, "How does America feel about nuclear weapons?" I didn't know what to say to this, however. "Uhhh...we don't want other people to have them...but we have about 10,000 of them. We're also the only ones to have used them against another country..." I think she was wondering if we were worried about North Korea. I told her I wasn't. She asked if I was worried that it would start another World War, or another Iraq situation. I said it seemed very doubtful. I said that their military sucks and no other country would probably join with them. She then said that she was worried Russia and China would. I said I found that highly unlikely. I think it's that the Korean War wasn't that long ago and it devastated Korea...so people are worried another war will be fought in Korea and the same thing will happen. I like how Kim Jong Il tested them on the 4th of July to "embarrass the US." Yeah, big embarrassment. What a tool.

A couple weekends ago we celebrated Charlie's birthday. We went to her apt and had a picnic on the roof of her apt building. Then we went to dinner and had shabu shabu. Later that week we all got together at Charlie's again and made burgers. Here are a few pictures:
