I've said it before . . .

. . . but it bears repeating -- I don't know how some people make it through the day without be attacked by the wood peckers! Case in point: police in Norwood, Ohio (a suburb of Cincinnati) have arrested a 44 year-old woman after she called 911 FOUR TIMES attempting to find a date! Then, just to add insult to injury, when police arrived to confront the woman about making the calls, she refused to come to the door. Later, after she did finally come out, she added another charge to the growing list when she urinated on a wall in the hallway outside of her apartment. To the best of my knowledge, she's still "cooling her heels" in the Norwood city jail.


Just to be fair, stupid people are just limited to north of the Mason-Dixon line. Over this past weekend, I went downtown on MARTA (Atlanta's bus and rail transit system) to return a book to the library and do some research. On the way up I observed a young mother and her - approximately - 18 month-old son sitting across from me on the bus. I'm sure that she meant well, but she paid no more attention to her little boy than the man in the moon. Actually she paid NO ATTENTION to him until he got worn out and made his way up into her lap and went to sleep. Otherwise, she was on the cell phone the entire time and could seem to care less what her son was doing or what he needed. Note to all parents: children are a gift from God and should be treated as such! (Stepping down off my soapbox now.)


Until next time . . .
