Not Chicago Or New Haven, But The Good Old Summit City. (Or, How Was Your Day At Work Today, Dear?)

There's blood in the streets,
It's up to my ankles.
There's blood in the streets,
It's up to my knees.
There's blood in the street,
The town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise,
It's followin' me.

Not to belittle my two (former) PDs/co-workers' current status, but allow me a moment of selfishness and let me note....

At least this time, it wasn't me. Maybe my karmic wheel isn't completely flat after all.

Keeping score? Since this time last week, that's two dead and one wounded (sorry, CK.)

Still bad juju in the air. Keeping my head low till the shooting stops. More reports from the front as the situation warrants.

For my youngest, who has both ADHD and the above mentioned. I love her (and her older sister) more than apple pie with ice cream and caramel topping. Leftover Father's day sentiment there....sorry for the outburst.

Maybe It Was For Granny's Glaucoma. (Or, What A Nice Boy, Helping With The Garden.)

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Cumberland County authorities arrested a man who they say found a fertile spot to grow some illicit herbs — his grandmother's garden.
Cornelius Shaw, 30, is charged with manufacturing marijuana that he allegedly grew in his grandmother's back yard, the sheriff's department said Sunday. He was arrested at her house Friday and was freed on $3,000 bond.
An off-duty sheriff's deputy discovered the weed patch when he was at a yard sale. Tom Zilg glanced into the yard next door and spotted what investigators later established was 25 marijuana plants with a street value of $25,000, according to a department news release.
Investigators said Shaw told his grandmother he was growing tomatoes, and she had no idea what he was really up to.

Hmmmm....I think I've found a way out of my financial straits. Grandma even has some REAL tomato plants in her garden.....so I'd have something to eat when the munchies hit. It's a thought......

The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
