Purrim and Ham radio and no the cat has not got a license

First Purrim the Jewish holiday is this wednesday (the day this post will be released to the web)

Second Purrim is the name of one of our cats (and he takes an interest in the radio that woorries me, one of the previous cats did have a thrid party QSO some years ago but that is another story)

The event that Purrim chronicles is the subject of the Ester ) a person a jew btw not a chenical compnd) in the story we we have Haman the PM of the Persian King, Isshasomething-or-the-other (he is dead as is his kingdom so who cares, Haman we remember but I am getting ahead of myself) weell back to our story Isshasomething had a queen named Vasti who ticked off her Isshasomething (read the book of Ester)so got replaced by Ester, Mordecai's cousin who refused to bow down to Haman. Haman was unable to move against him so he decided to target the Jews as whole. este learned if the plot (being in the palaceand sort fa cryptojew) Ester stopped the whole thing with Isshasomething. the upshot was that Haman was hanged high on the very gallows he had built to hang his foe Mordecai, hence the old phrase "hanging higher than Haman"

Then we have the current goings on in Ham Radop where we have a new queen it seems (guess who may be filling that role) Crow (along with his cohorts like mike kz8o and n1fm) seems typecast for the role having hailed the new queen and then turning on her when he is part of that awkard gruop that Crow is willing to attack to get at his target, the rest of Ham radio held hostage to their reign of terror. (Karol , and me and others, getting the role of Mordecai) after a long reign as of terror he is, it seems about to be brought down because he/they could notface that some people rightly or wrongly are beyond thier power (all power is limited) The FCC is cast as Isshasomething

Wether the story of Ester is truly history or like the book of Job a morality tale cobled together out various true story does not matter. the Same thing do happen again and again.

That is real purpose of Purrim is IMO to help our people (the Jews) remember what has happened and thus prepare us for what will happen again, wether anyone realy wants it or not that icludes "Ester" and "King Isshasomething"

Thus while Purrim is for Us Jews is a party time like April Fools day it hovers near on the Jewish calender

remember therfore these the lessons oif Haman, Ester, Mordecai, and King Isshasomthing

All power has serioius limits

Those that abuse there powers may fall by that abuse

The results of trying to use power can not always be predicted

I bid all of you that are reading Shalom (peace) but above that Binah(wisdom)

The Torah is a tree of life to those that cling to it, and all of it paths are peace
