Just got a disturbing phone call from my sister in Oklahoma, they have put my 93 year old grandmother in a nursing home, the aunt that has been taking care of her now has decided to sell her house and what little land she has, I am sure that money will disappear like much of the money my grandmother had has vanished. We are going to try and get out there to see grandma as soon as we can. I hate to get bad news on the phone it is very depressing, not to mention right before Christmas.

Poor Mindy
I have always had a thing for Mindy McCreedy, she is always in trouble and I guess it is a pity thing more than anything else. Her latest trouble mark that more than ever before. She is trying so hard to keep her name in print and on the air waves that she will do anything to stay in the public eye, and that is simply pitiful a feel sorry for her more than anything. She needs to find a life and get out of the public life she is not made for the grind.
What was he thinking?
I love the section of the local newspaper that has little news bites from around the world. What got my attention today was the story about a Louisville Kentucky police officer being suspended for fifteen days for giving a ticket to a 7 year old boy who accidentally struck the police officer’s personal vehicle with a ball. He ticketed the child for criminal mischief! That got my attention because I really hate it when anyone in “authority” abuses that authority. I did some Internet research and found out that not only did the police officer ticket the boy, but yelled at the mother for being a bad parent!
One of the articles that I read indicated that the police officer gave the boy the ticket because he was hoping that would prompt the mother into punishing the child. Nowhere could I find anything that indicated that any damage was done. I have to wonder what kind of ball it was, and if the child was really throwing the ball at the vehicle or if it was just lack of control on the part of the kid. Regardless, I think that was an extreme thing to do.
I am hoping that the police officer is getting some kind of counseling because he sure must need it! What was he thinking?
Tragedy
The recent tragic death of local hero Steve McNair is still in the local news and on the internet too. I for one will be glad when this story gets put back on the back burner of the daily news coverage. It was a very sad story but the news reporters will not let it go. We have heard more than the national audience being that we are here in the city where it happened. Nashville should not be remembered for being the place Steve McNair had an affair and was shot dead over a lovers quarrel.
Airliner lost
This story seems to me like it has come from the plot of a bad movie, an airliner goes missing off the African coast and all are thought to of been lost in the crash. It seems strange that the pilots did not send an SOS or any air traffic at all that I have heard of, the airliner with 228 people on it just disappears that is very strange to me. I have my own theory about this and I think that if I am right we will never hear another word about this tragedy and it will be swept under the rug like a lot of other “accidents” over the years. We shall see.
