The Right . . .

. . . to bear. . .


(from http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/las-vegas-mom-tammy-meyers-went-looking-suspect-road-rage-n307896)
". . . A Las Vegas woman who was killed in an apparent road rage shooting . . .[recently] drove around with her armed son looking for the suspect who would later shoot her in front of her home, police said Tuesday. Tammy Meyers, 44, was shot by someone in a gray or silver four-door sedan outside her home around 11:22 p.m. Thursday, and died two days later. The suspect or suspects remain unidentified, police said. Police said Meyers and her armed 22-year-old son followed a car she believed had been involved in a road rage incident earlier that night, that they stopped following the vehicle and returned home, and when they got there a car matching the description of the one they'd followed pulled up and someone inside it began shooting. Meyers' son returned fire, police said.
"I did what I had to do to protect my family. Everyone can think what they have to think; I did it for a reason. And I'd do it for anyone I love," Meyers' son, Brandon, said at a vigil Tuesday. . .Meyers' husband, Robert Meyers, told mourners at the vigil that his late wife was a beautiful woman who loved her kids, but also that "she hated bullies.". . ."


With all due respect for the dead, I feel:
1.  grateful that this young man does NOT love me
2.  this beautiful, loving woman rivaled Mel Gibson in her overwhelming desire for vengeance        (searching for the original 'road rage' guy?  COME ON!!)
3.  she hated bullies badly enough to find them long after the incident occurred
4.  this story could have ended with the original 'road rage' person dead if the beautiful, loving woman and her armed son had found him first

I could be wrong . . .

Complain . . .

. . . ME?!!!

I know I'm whining again, but I must admit, I've had it up to HERE with these cold, cold temperatures. I'ts just plain unpleasant to have cold hands with cracked fingers all the time.  Any liquid out of doors is frozen, there's either wind or snow in the five-day forecast and one of the most pleasant things I do is sleep under multiple blankets and comforters.



. . . up to HERE! . . .

Unsettling . . .


There's something unsettling about sitting amongst these huge photographs of steamy young women in their underwear pouting provocatively at me as I drink my coffee and to write write something mildly amusing. I'm not sure whether they're invading my privacy or I theirs.

Such are the trials and tribulations of sitting at Starbucks in the mall just outside of Victoria's Secret.

Cautious . . .


". . .  I was cautious in that I said before the young lady, for I could not be sure that she was sane; and, in fact, there was a certain restless brilliancy about her eyes which half led me to imagine she was not.  I confined my remarks, therefore, to general topics, and to such as I thought would not be displeasing or exciting even to a lunatic. She replied in a perfectly rational manner to all that I said; and even her original observations were marked with the metaphysics of mania, had taught me to put no faith in such evidence of sanity, and I continued to practise, throughout the interview, the caution with which I commenced it.

Presently a smart footman in livery brought in a tray with fruit, wine and other refreshments, of which I partook, the lady soon afterward leaving the room. As she departed I turned my eyes in an inquiring manner toward my host.

"No," he said, "oh, no-a member of my family-my niece, and a most accomplished woman." . . ."
(from "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether" by Edgar Allan Poe)
