Went to the Navy Five-Miler. Saw guys young enough to be my sons with missing limbs. Some missing more than one limb. Another reason to oppose the war in Iraq.
Beautiful weather, stock market up, gas prices okay. Teresa Lewis was executed this week. Getting over an awful cold, having a lot of physical pain. Hurts like crazy when I cough. If it were my left shoulder I would swear I was having a heart attack.
Except "Falls Church Barbie" is not accurate. It should read "has a poor self-image, hates Falls Church, hates herself more, wanted nothing more than to leave Falls Church, and now fears she may have to move back..."
Weather has been beautiful, stock market ended on an up note, gas prices maybe up a little but not too bad. Was having less pain, but haven't slept well, so it's back. And I think I'm coming down with something.
A couple notable primary upsets yesterday. It looks as though Vincent Gray will be the new mayor of DC. Paid my property taxes today.
Ok, DC, let's see our tax dollars being put to GOOD use. If you had, those kids might be behind bars now. If DC cops had been where they were supposed to be I might not have been robbed, period.
Took the Facebook "How White Are You?" quiz and scored 44%. I can turn much whiter, but that usually involves a heavy loss of blood and/or consciousness.
Now I am also bruising, hopefully just from the aspirin.
At about 3:00 AM Eastern Time Friday a female tarot card reader was robbed in front of Tryst on 18th Street in Adams Morgan. The suspects were three African American males and one female, apparently in their late teens or early 20's, medium to dark complected. One of then was wearing a rhinestone pendant around his neck. They took an ATM card, cell phone, keys and Starbucks card. All were in a purple velvet drawstring bag.
The female was very petite, may have scratch marks on her arms, neck or face. The males were roughly five feet seven inches. At least one had braids. One was missing a tooth. They were last seen headed eastbound on Columbia Road. If you have any information, please call (202) 673-6815 and ask for Detective Luna. the case # is 127287

A hostage situation at the Discovery Channel Building in Silver Spring ended with the hostage taker dead. May G-d have mercy on his victims. PTSD sucks.
Also, may G-d have mercy on him and the cop who had to shoot him. That couldn't have been easy.
