Chaffing

Typical that. You go to sort one problem and find another. For, unbeknown to me, the diesel return line has been chaffing against a jubilee clip and has worked a little hole in itself. 
Elsewhere, the war in Gaza rumbles on, but the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers by the IDF may spark a change in Washington and elsewhere. Haaaretz (yes I took out a subscription months ago) is quite clear: "take note, policy planners in Jerusalem and Washington: These deaths will have strategic and immediate consequences for Israel's war against Hamas.”
One could ask why the deaths of seven westerners counts for more than 30,000 Palestinians of course, but we won’t go there.





* WCK's founder is famed chef and entrepreneur, Jose Andres. Jose Andres is beloved in DC. Everyone in the foreign policy community, whether at the White House, the State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, or in the think tanks have dined in Jose Andres's restaurants. For those outside of DC, it's hard to understate the connectivity and popularity of Chef Andres to Washington culture and its political establishment.
