with a hey, ho, the wind & the rain

Well I guess Chris Benoit killed his family and had been mistreating his kid for a long time, so his death isn't much sad.

A few days ago my backyard neighbor hung herself, and yesterday morning a guy two streets over came out of his house brandishing a knife at cops so they shot him dead. Weird.

Last Saturday my father was asked to display a collection of his pictures at a flower show, I went for the free pastries to be helpful and supportive. It was actually pretty neat, they had a biologist come talk about flowers and after that I got to wander around the beach and fields of a part of Quincy I rarely visit. I met the mayor, though I didn't know the guy's the mayor until after the fact. My middle school art teacher was there too. She kept rambling disconnectedly and wouldn't quit fingering my stuff and laughing. She might have been on something but who knows, that woman's always been insane.

This article about the US Independence Day is worth reading. The reference to the "almighty" towards the end is innocuous, don't let it put you off. One wonders why it's on a Palestine and the Middle East news website, though... Actually, PalestinianChronicle is worth bookmarking and reading regularly.
