Today is like the end of summer, for tomorrow begins September.   But you can enjoy life until Tuesday, for Monday is Labor Day, a national holiday. All things considered, the world at this very moment is doing fine: Internationally: The Hamas attacked Israel on 7October2023.  There will be a  three-day cease fire beginning tomorrow in the Gaza Strip to vaccinate 640,000 Palestinian children against polio , which has no cure.  The first case in 25 years was just reported, so maybe this is a possible first step to a larger truce to come. Two doses of two drops of a live virus to be taken orally.  2000 medical volunteers will do the job.  The world yet awaits that expected revenge response from Iran on Israel. Russian invaded the Ukraine in February 2022, and remains in control.  But the fact that Ukraine has lasted this long, and is  now into Russian territory , is a surprise.  The U.S. is approaching a  trillion dollars for the Afghanistan war   (still spending ).  $113 billion so far
