Of More Updates and a tragic Limo fire~~~~

Hello My Darklings,

Just as I suspected the suspect in the Boston Bombing, the teenage friend of the 2nd bomber, who was accused by the FBI of lying has been released on Bond and other strict restrictions.  Many people are angry about that and feel that he should remain in jail with his friends, his lawyer says they will prove him innocent, but frankly I don't think so.  And if he is found guilty on this Federal charge he could be incarcerated for as much as 8 years.

I talked to Doyle on the phone about this, he's still out of town on assignment, and he is a bit "blood thirsty" saying that maybe other "young fools" should learn from this.  I'm remaining neutral although I do lean towards the "as you sow, so shall ye reap" belief.

The wild fires are calming down with the cooler weather and I hope it will help.  The tragic explosion in West (name of the town)  Texas (state) was caused by Ammonia Nitrate, killing 14 people and injuring 200.

I remember for a period of time my parents raising about a dozen chickens, with them scraping and pecking and my parents growing vegetables and a few fruit trees and those plants did wonderfully by the natural way of growing.  This type of fertilizer is dangerous, and I think new regulations will be put into place.

This weekend a Limousine carrying 9 ladies who were celebrating a upcoming ceremony for one of them, somehow caught on fire, killing 5 of the 9 ladies, 4 managed to get out as well as the driver, one of the ladies killed was the bride to be.  Limo fires are very rare, so this one is going to be investigated and I think Limo's may have to be re-designed because of this.

I did promise I would get away from tragedy, but it seems to be all around me right now.  So my sister and I are going to plan a little get-away this weekend, to where I don't know, she is going to surprise me.

Sis's progress on purchasing the house is moving much faster than anticipated, it seems the Bank is happy to quickly unload this house, and it seems to be moving in her favor.  She is excited about it and so am I.

She has not owned a house since her divorce some years ago, but her ex-husband and his friend said they can recommend some people to help her out on repairs if we are stumped, she does know she'll need a painter and a roofer, so she is getting a lot of recommendations.  She is so happy about this.

I'll have to close for now, but I do want to say that we did go to that artist reception last Saturday evening, of the young lady who dresses only in white and gold.  I think I'll save those thoughts for another time.
