An American senior citizen killed an alleged mugger with his bare hands, and his traveling companions aboard a tour bus fended off two other assailants in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said.
The American, who is about 70 years old and retired from the military, put the 20-year-old in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the suspect and two other men armed with a knife and gun held up their tour bus, said Luis Hernandez, the police chief of Limon, 80 miles east of San Jose. The suspect, Warner Segura, was later declared dead, apparently from asphyxiation.
The two other men fled when the 12 senior citizens started defending themselves during the Wednesday attack. Afterward, the tourists drove Segura to the Red Cross where he was declared dead. The Red Cross also treated one of the tourists for an anxiety attack, Hernandez said Thursday.
Fuck yeah! Arm the AARP!
Limon is where my sister lived. I don't think she killed anyone while she was there.
Oh, right, Jesse. Was that the time with the thing and the guy? Either way, you also are instrumental.
For the record--I'm now a 29. And a fucking hard to fit whatever I am. I don't want to hate my ass (kettlebell, baby!) but it's really making it hard to keep it decently covered.
Now I don't know.
I'm gonna call that a victory of sorts.
Hooray jeans!
Ok, between the interview with a local Auschwitz survivor and the storycore piece where an elderly father tearfully told his son that the best thing he ever did in life was the two dollars he spent on the marriage license to his now late wife, my radio is trying to turn me into a salty soggy lump.
Parker Stevenson's neck has never been big enough.
But his hair has been.
Tomorrow I am going to get up bright and early, go buy food and comics, then go to see a play with Johanna in the afternoon, then maybe do something with Daniel.
The getting up early & hitting the store part does depend on me getting to bed at a decent hour, but since I'm currently trying to find something to do that will keep me awake until 11, I feel cautiously optimistic.
Sunday will probably feature laundry. And some work I brought home. Oh, and maybe I'll try to catch up on Galactica while I do both of those things.
I have never made a decent investment in jeans that actually fit. I tend to make do with Old Navy, but I would love a few pairs of truly well-fitting jeans, even if it meant spending some cash. Being short and short-waisted makes jeans-shopping a nightmare. Too bad Kat doesn't have a personal shopping side business--I'd hire her!
Then again, I'm pretty annoyed with most of my clothes right now. Nothing fits. Oh wait...that's not my clothes' fault, is it. Grumble.
Edited because I really meant "annoyed," not "annoying." Though I may be.
My half-formed wish for plans tonight has not been granted. Which is good, since I have a fucker of a migraine and can't quite keep still with it.
I do have seven million things on TiVo and stored on the laptop to watch. I just would rather...okay, I have no idea what I'd rather do, if the migraine's gonna stay. Something.
I seem to be sitting at home with no good TV! Boo! Man, I really dislike Ghost Whisperer!
My plans for this weekend involve making dress patterns. Yay?!?
Also, I am trying to google "scar Pain" because I have scars from last year's cat attack that still hurt, especially if I push on them (I Know, don't push on them), but instead am coming up with all these Harry Potter fanfictions whre his scar hurts!
