Accchhh! I'm going to have to get out and brave the elements here pretty soon. The next few weeks is going to be terribly busy what with getting ready for the kids to come and trying to catch up (like that's EVER going to happen) at work so that I don't get too much of a backlog taking part of Christmas week off. I have no idea yet how I am going to deal with Christmas for the 32 kids on my caseload. Actually, it might be more than that now. I also have no idea how I am going to handle visitations with parents for my foster kids. I don't have any that can be unsupervised, and I am certainly not going to spend the first Christmas I've had with my family in 4 years, supervising visits between kids and parents that can't be trusted alone with them. Call me selfish, but I have my priorities too.

There are a lot of obstacles to placing children out of state, even if it's only a few miles away. It can be done, but generally only after every possible resource in the state is exhausted. The one exception is relative placement, and even that is complicated if the relative is out of state. It is just unbelievable the hoops we have to jump through to placate the powers that be. Is it any wonder we're failing the children? And it's all about law suits. Virtually every BS detail of much of the crap we have to do can be traced back to one law suit that cost the state a bundle. Granted, it was something that shouldn't have happened, but they have gone so far to the other extreme now that meeting the needs of the children takes a back seat to meeting the requirements of the bureaucracy in which they are trapped.

Man, the wind is really bad today. Figures. I just paid a guy a bundle to clean up all the leaves and mow yesterday. Problem is, not too many around me have done the same, so now I have a yard full of other people's leaves. This wind is so bad today, there are whitecaps in the birdbath!

Gunman's rampage kills two women

By CHRISTINE VENDEL

The Kansas City Star


Kansas City police are looking for a gunman who killed two women Friday, apparently at random, when he shot at vehicles during a two-hour rampage in a stolen car.

Investigators had no motive in the deaths on 31st Street, which police thought were linked to a carjacking and at least one other shooting.

“We have no idea why he picked these victims,” said Homicide Sgt. Doug Niemeier.

Police identified one victim as Raevena McClenton, 27, of Kansas City. Police said she was on her way to work when she was shot in the head. The other victim was not identified while officials notified her relatives.

Mayor Pro-Tem Alvin Brooks said the crime spree was “crazy, senseless, and shows a total lack of respect for human life.”

The community group Move Up planned a prayer vigil and march for the victims at noon today at 31st Street and Cleveland Avenue.

Police think the fatal shootings were connected to several other crimes that occurred early Friday, including a carjacking about 5:55 a.m. at Ninth Street and Hardesty Avenue. A man got into the passenger side of a red Ford Escort when the car pulled up to a stoplight. The man said something to the driver, who does not speak English, then started hitting him on the head with a gun. The driver ran away.

About 30 minutes later, someone in a small red car fired three to five gunshots into a house in the 2500 block of Elmwood Avenue. No one was hurt. The residents told police they did not know why anyone would have shot at their home.

A few minutes after that, a man driving a small red car westbound on 31st between Jackson and Indiana avenues fired into another westbound vehicle with three occupants. The bullet hit McClenton's head as she sat in the front passenger seat. A bullet also struck the face of the driver, who was recovering at a hospital Friday. McClenton's mother, who was in the back seat, was not hurt.

After the shooting, the injured driver pulled into the parking lot of a service station at Linwood Boulevard and Indiana Avenue to call for help.

While officers were at the service station, a woman arrived at Truman Medical Center with a gunshot wound to her head. Witnesses said a gunman in a small red car shot her as she sat in the front passenger seat of a truck traveling along the same stretch of 31st Street as McClenton was. The pickup driver took the victim to the hospital, where she died Friday afternoon. The driver and another passenger were not hurt.

At 7:45 a.m., more than an hour after the shootings, the red Ford Escort that was taken in the carjacking was found crashed into two parked cars in the 3600 block of Prospect Avenue. Witnesses said they heard a gunshot before the crash and then saw a young man running from the wrecked car. He was described as black, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with braided hair. He was wearing jeans and a black hooded jacket.

Police did not know how the gunshot factored into the wreck. Niemeier said they were unaware of anything or anyone being hit by that gunshot.

Niemeier said his detectives would like to talk to anyone who saw the man fleeing the wreck. Anyone with information should call the homicide unit at (816) 234-5043 or the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS (474-8477).

“We believe one person is responsible for these incidents, and it's important for the public to know this person is still out there,” Niemeier said. “We need the public's help.”

The state would prolly not be thrilled with the Christian orientation of Heartland, who accepts no government money, and who expect the kids to work on their farms and ranches while they are going to school.

Kansas City is eight hours away from Cape. I lived there for three years, although we did move to Grandview suburb the last year. I am always grateful we got out of there before the busing fiasco started.

Actually, the religious side of it isn't a big problem here. We do use faith based facilities. But fear of law suits is creating horrible obstacles in all walks of life. Something has GOT to be done about unscrupulous ambulance chasing lawyers and the runaway judiciary. And there needs to be penalties for frivolous lawsuits....or, at the very least, some kind of controls on them.

I got my RAM in, and my new Vid card, so I can make Posers again.. lol. I am still having that intermittent hourglass tho, and it's driving me buggy. I've done every scan I can and I can't find anything. It's like something is always running in the background and I know it's draining my system.

XP?
Right click on the taskbar to call up the taskbar menu, choose 'task manager'.
Click the processes tab.
Clcik 'name' header to put in alphabetical order.
Look through the processes running.
One will say an outrageous number of processor usage or memory usage.
