I keep telling myself, "At least they caught this one before he could kill more." But it's still unnerving to think he was in our midst. I need to go get more bedding plants tomorrow morning--but I won't go to Purcell, I'll go to another town. It's irrational, I know, but...
Yeah, I'm afraid that the more notoriety and attention Jamie's case gets, the worse it will be for the town name. This is so far out of the ordinary (aacck, that's the word I first used for this guy, before we knew the rest of the story) that it will have some infamy.
Too bad he doesn't have some weird last name that would be the most memorable aspect of the case, instead of the small town (in beautiful horse country!) where it happened. Nobody remembers where Jeffrey Dahmer was from--at least, I don't.
Not sure where you live ("L" maybe?), but I bet you can find some nice plants going down towards PV, maybe? Or how about Stratford?
Also, silly question, but has Carl's Jr. bought out Hardee's? We don't have either one down here, at least not near me, so I didn't know. I liked Hardee's.
