I'm starting to see a little different mood drift through here. No matter which side you are on, it is affecting all of us one way or another. People are seriously worried of what their children will face, even college is no guarantee that they will have gotten them prepared for a good and prosperous life.
Heh, that reminds me of an old cartoon I saw in Hustler Magazine
Heh, that's probably pretty tame compared to some of the stuff I've seen on the net, don't seek it out. I don't feel like talking the drug scene any more tonight. I didn't mean to whine about my gas. I'm lucky it wasn't 4 times that.
Where will it end? I have some dark visions (not literally). We have had locally the cops at three schools already and spring isn't even here. Disturbances with racial overtones. Cops are being assigned two to a car. Budget is so overtaxed they were talking of laying off some. Now this is no big thing where you are, but I am telling you that it was unheard of where I live until the last decade or so and may only get worse. Just kids fighting. Cops in schools? Not when I went to school. They called them once in awhile for an individual or couple, never a large problem. We came and went in safety (apart from kids driving crazy).
Your calico cat. I adore calico cats. Yours is getting up there. I lost mine in August, still miss her, she was the product of a calico shorthair and a Himalayan purebred. We sure had a bunch of beautiful cats from that mix. I'm just about of the cat "business". One left. Don't dare let them outside; their lives are shortened by years. Always wished I could live out somewhere where I could have several and they could go outside more. Then I found out once in awhile the coyotes or something gets them . . .guess there are some still around.
Sleep well. Think of something cheerful. Have a little fun. I think it speaks well of people who at least think and talk about the problems even if they can't do much about it. So many don't seem to care.
