It's Thursday. It's 9:12am. Do you know where your Wombat is?
« on: August 21, 2008, 09:12:51 AM »


I'm going to clean the throttle linkage on my POS riding lawn mower and do house work.

I might, or might not at some point, actually sit down and do some painting.

I had to have a new phone overnighted as my second Treo since March has taken a fit and Verizon can't figure out what's wrong and they didn't have any left in stock. And since, I of course went to the Verizon store on the north side of town, when I was over there yesterday....that's where I'm going back to.

I have 2 drivebys to do over there ....but sadly we had a school shooting here this morning over in that area....and I'm not going over there just yet.

Some kid walked into a HS here this morning and walked up to another kid in the cafeteria ...and shot him. The news just reported he is dead...16yo.  :( The shooter was caught within minutes walking down the street.

A month ago we have a church shooting....now this.

Scary times.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Saw the stories on this.

Damn scary stuff.

I haven't seen anything other than local, but I've been working and just had the local channel on in the background.

Obviously, the HS is closed today, and I don't know what they will do about it tomorrow.

As of a report I saw just a few minutes ago, they are still taking kids to a nearby church for parents to pick them up.

Last report is the shooter knew the kid he killed. They were arguing. However, I saw a girl interviewed who said she was just a few feet away from it and said she didn't hear anything, she was talking with friends, but she saw him pull the gun out of his backpack. :(

Maybe I'll just stay home and tackle paperwork...

It's sad when thats how kids learn to solve their problems with people.  Prayer for the boy's family.



On another note...

I made cupcakes this morning to take to my baby's football practice.  He turns 8 today!  Between doing laundry and running my daughter to dance, I'm going to be a good mom and play video games with him for the afternoon!  :-)
