wednesday

We have a few errands to run today.
Right now boyfriend is napping. Woody and Mr. Bojangles are also napping, each on a dining room chair. Weeping is outside taking her daily walk down the street.
I just cleaned up the kitchen and read the blogs that I read.
I should probably do house cleaning but I just don't want to.

The deer ate the tomatoes and green peppers off my plants, and they ate the daffodils from the front flower bed.
They're starting to piss me off.
If I think of it while we're out today, I'll get some chicken wire to put around my veggie plants.
My pumpkin vines are doing pretty good. I wonder if the deer will eat them when they begin to flower.

We have a big trial going on right now in Cincinnati. A policeman shot a man he had pulled over on a traffic stop. He says the guy tried to drive away and pulled him with his car. He shot him in the head. There's video. I don't see him being pulled. The guy he pulled over had a bag of pot and a couple thousand dollars in the car that was found after the shooting.. He refused to turn off the car,and refused to show his drivers license after multiple requests to do so.. I don't think he has ever  held a job, and he has 22 children by multiple women. I think he was in his late 40's.
One of the community leaders, a church pastor I think, says there will be civil unrest (riots?) if the cop is not found guilty. This case has been to court once. There was a hung jury. They're trying the cop for murder.
The cop pulled other AA persons over that day. The videos of those accounts showed him being calm and respectful.
The cop was wearing a confederate flag t-shirt under his uniform.
I'm sure there's more
 to the story. I'm just repeating what I've heard/read. A civil suit was settled before the case even went to court.
The jury began deliberations yesterday.
I predict another hung jury.
Deters, the DA, says he will re try until he gets a verdict. We will see.

Daughters boyfriend was here the other day. He's a policeman.
I was a little shocked to see he was wearing his gun on his hip, in my house.
I didn't like it.
Guns scare me.
He's very nice, and non threatening.........but still I don't like it.

Hello Jane!

Thank you for commenting on my site! I greatly appreciate it. You have quit now for 18 months? And it is still hard? Sigh, I am afraid I will likely be like you and I do not know if I am strong enough.

Hi, Pipe.
I believe you will be successful in quitting smoking. Look at how successful you have been with your daily walks/jogging.
I know you can do it..... I just do!
