[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 755792, member: 23727"] Lessee... We saw Youngest this past Monday morning. We left our Jerusalem 'burb good and early, made very good time and got to the prison early enough for me to open the laptop and work a little before going in. A friend of his from our 'burb, who is doing her military service in Tel Aviv, took a bus up to meet us. We had a good but frustrating visit. Youngest was in good in enough spirits but as Mrs. 200Meters and I have always said & known, he is his own worst enemy. He always has to butt heads, says whatever is on his mind (he has yet to grasp the think-before-you-talk thing) and lacks any foresight. He told us that he got angry at the commander of his wing and cursed her, calling her the Hebrew equivalent of a son-of-a-:censored2:. He was pleased with himself as having been a tough-guy. He also lost the menial job he had putting plastic knives, forks and spoons, a napkin and tiny packets of salt and pepper in little sealable plastic packets because he took a few back to his room and they were found during a contraband search. We are back in court on Wednesday, 26 February, for his appeal to the Jerusalem District Court, which is the next court up the food chain from the Jerusalem Magistrates Court, where his case was heard. The public defender will ask that Youngest's sentence be commuted to time served and that he be released. The pd (who doesn't work for us; Youngest is 19) has to do what he does but Mrs. 200Meters and I are not at all sure that this is the best thing for Youngest. On the contrary, he would come away thinking that he had played the system yet again. However, given Youngest's record, including his time spent in prison, we think that there is very little chance of this happening. Youngest called us the next day and asked that we deposit NIS 500 ($145.69) into the canteen account of someone else whom Youngest says he has been borrowing from. We told him absolutely not. He has not called today yet. After our prison visit, Mrs. 200Meters & I dropped Youngest's friend back at her base in Tel Aviv and then drove to [URL='https://hikingintheholyland.com/2019/02/18/givat-haturmosim-simple-fancy/'][U]here[/U][/URL] to see the lupines. We were there last year at this time and the the lupines, which were in full bloom, were absolutely stunning. (The hill is identified with Socoh, near where King Saul & the Israelite army camped opposite the Philistines, ahead of David's punch-up with Goliath, which took place in the Elah Valley below; see [URL='https://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt08a17.htm'][U]I Samuel 17.[/U][/URL] You can see the brook that David took the stones for his sling from; it's the only one in the area.) But, alas, we were too early & all the lupines were still in bud. We'll go back in 2 weeks or so; hopefully they will be in bloom by then. But we had a nice hike and then went to [URL='http://etziontour.org.il/attraction/lehemoshe/'][U]this[/U][/URL] restaurant for a very nice lunch. Oldest is due to start a new job (as a cashier at a large butcher shop almost across the street from where he and his Lady-friend are living). We will see how that goes, hopefully well. [/QUOTE]
