Yikes Laura—my sister has had the same talk with my mom.

My dad is back in the hospital again (he had surgery last week, and they kept him extra because he didn't shake off the anasthesia well, apparently now he has an infection). This visit to them this week may be more timely than planned!

Sorry to hear that Fred.

msbelle, that sounds like it's going to be hair-raising in multiple ways. Good luck!

Who the hell shoots up a garlic festival!?!

I talked to Mom this morning, she's feeling better and the doctor told her the bacteria level is going down. The leg is still swollen as hell, so she's going to be there a while longer.

Somebody looking for a crowd of targets.

Ugh I am all of a sudden getting a blocked message on my work phone for this site. Only sometimes though, it says "adult content" HA!

I am still one of the luddites paying a slightly lower monthly bill for a not unlimited data plan on my personal phone. There is no WiFi access at work except for company devices.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A Facebook friend of mine (married to a long-time Internet friend) was at the Gilroy festival yesterday, although at least his group had gone home before things went south.

I had flashbacks to the Boston Marathon bombing, because the garlic festival is one of those homegrown popular events that is part and parcel of local identity and culture.

Who the hell shoots up a garlic festival!?!

Someone who wants people afraid to leave the house for the simplest of events. It's a terror move. This make people even more afraid to go to the county fair, or even shopping at WalMart. This is how you strike even more fear into the hearts of people. It's one thing when it's a big target in a city, it's a totally different kind of fear when it starts happening at the local gathering in a small town.
