BRUSH REMOVAL

Be still
my anxious heart.
I thought
the headline read
BUSH REMOVAL!

I did a double-take when I glanced at the big headline on the first page of our local newspaper. Alas, it was simply a remedy for home owners in fire-prone areas of San Diego. We see what we want to see!

For some reason I was reminded of a a sign I saw when I was going through the customs queue at Beijing Airport a couple of years ago. The messages out of Washington these days make just about as much sense.
