Update: Israel, the U.S. Election, and 23 Bears
Unforeseen Contingencies continue.
First, "we" at Unforeseen Contingencies are excited to hear that tonight Israel is bombing Iran. May this be extremely destructive and effective, and the the IDF pilots all return safely. I am really pleased at the destruction Israel is raining down on Hamas and Hezbollah, and hope and pray the same for the mullahs' regime. The deaths of all of the top leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah is so deserved and welcome. My the Iranian regime experience the same.
Second, the American election is nearly upon us. Trump and Vance are decent men who do believe in individual liberty and will obey the Constitution. Harris and Walz are corrupt Marxists at heart. The election will not resolve America's internal struggles, but it will indicate who has the upper hand. There is turmoil ahead, but if Trump and Vance can get into office, things are remarkably hopeful.
Third, I completed my 23rd Le Grizz 50 Mile ultramarathon on 12 October. It was a great event. I ran with a Michigan friend, Liz J. and many of my regular Le Grizz friends. Two of my former students, Katie W. and Kyle F., ran the race for the first time and loved it. My friend Kathy L. completed her 25th Le Grizz! We did not see any bears, but a runner who was a bit behind us had a grizzly emerge from the woods about 10 yards from him, run across the road, and disappear into the woods on the other side. I have already signed up for the 2025 race on October 11. All readers should join us!
