Californian Sailor...

Ships and Planes are looking for missing Indonesia jetliner. Rescuers scoured the ocean for a missing jetliner Wednesday, one day after senior Indonesian officials erroneously said the Boeing 737's charred wreckage had been found in a remote mountainous area and that a dozen people may have survived.

Rescue mission under way for distressed California sailor off Chilean coast. Rescue efforts were under way Wednesday to save Ken Barnes, a California sailor, adrift in a badly damaged sailboat, in the Pacific Ocean off Chile, while trying to circumnavigate the globe.

In-Laws attack Pakistani With ax, then shoot Mom, and finally cut brother's ears for not getting OK to marry his wife. This is what I call true love. It's worth suffering for.

Those were the headlines for today. Why should authorities from 2 countries have to spend a small fortune, if a person is stupid enough to try to circumnavigate the globe alone in a sailboat. You want to do it alone, then do it alone, and when things are going bad, you should not start to cry. Who do you think is going to pick up the bill? I certainly not, because I live in Thailand. I guess that Mr. Barnes has a lot of explaining to do when he comes home. That is, if he gets home. They still have to find him of course.

No, then those poor Indonesian authorities. They mistakenly anounced that they had found Adam Air's missing Boeing 737. No, they did not find it, and no, there are certainly no survivors. This is a case of: lost in paradise. I hope that they will find the plane very soon, as everyone needs closure. It's not good for the family members not to know what exactly happened to their loved ones. Mistakes like these made by the Indonesians should never be alowed to be made. It's a clear sign of disrespect for human life.

But, as usual, I don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget: Love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
