In case anyone has forgotten this country is still technically at war with the unbalanced other end of the peninsula—North and South Korean troops exchanged gunfire in a brief incident along the border on Monday.
The incident happened shortly before sunset when North Korean soldiers fired two bullets towards a South Korean guard post in the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone, said Maj. Kim Tae-hoon of the Joint Chiefs of Staff office.
South Korean soldiers immediately fired back six rounds, Kim said.
He said South Korea does not know what prompted the North troops to open fire and the secretive communist country has not said anything to the South about it.
So, do we think the NK soldiers just got bored and decided they needed some excitement? Or was this another attention-getting measure ordered by Kim Jong Il?

Of COURSE KJI would love to see this DMZ shooting incident on CNN and FOX! It would be an interesting economics thesis to determine the dollar and/or euro value of each 15 sec on cable news to any given dictator.
That being said, the above realization does not prevent your loved ones from praying unceasingly for you two on that said peninsula. No wonder I am mysteriously awakened briefly every a.m. about 2 hours before dawn. Calculate the time difference, already.

Wow, lots of big words on here… Actually, I’m just here to tell you to send mom the wedding pictures somehow ASAP! She really wants to see them and share them with her friends.

Hey, I was just going to be delighted to receive copies of wedding photos by CHRISTMAS, of this calendar year, even!

No, I’m afraid that just wont do. Some of us aren’t half way around the planet and have to hear about it quite often. For the record, I would also like to see them. So get to it!
