Dont Make Me Go Medieval On You...

Yankee Alert: School Zones. I get the same blank stare on this. Perhaps I should take special interest with the daily mullet convention down the street but here is my rant.. Yankees have school zone signs that say "School Zone. 20mph when children are present." .. When children are present? No time frame, no specification of how many, just when present. Does this apply in the case of two loners at 4:30 or am I looking for some kind of head count here? What about Saturday school? ..
See downward in logic country, we have these signs specifying times (i.e. 7-8am & 3-4pm) and also blinking lights. The kids have a safer route and there is no guesswork as to when you will receive a $300 ticket.

They say you shouldnt talk religion or politics. My blog. Your problem.
The Cowboy today released a listing of "potential threats" that have been thwarted in the name of Homeland Security. A top ten list of suspected airline bombings all over the country out to get us. To President Chaney's credit, I have no doubt these are true. My irk is over the timing of this here release. Anyone hear about those wiretapping troubles lately? Everyone in an uproar because they want to track our every action, J Edgar Hoover style?
I'm glad they let us know what was going on (for once) but the timing leaves questions in my mind. In defense of my mom though, I suppose I would have some stupid theory of defense if my guy were still in office.. (Mom, you can quit nodding your head now.)

In all seriousness there has been something on my mind today.
Please give a HUGE shoutout to the anonymous woman on the news yesterday morning. She was sound asleep when she heard glass break downstairs, called the police and set off with loaded gun to investigate. Saw a man in the kitchen and fired two shots which sent him running into the living room.. Her infant and teenage brother were sleeping in the living room folks. The intruder grabbed her brother,the woman held her gun steady and the police pulled up just as she was about to check him out. My point being is that this is a brave woman friends. A devoted mother who could have chosen to wait for the police but instead put her family above her own life.
We could all use a reality check off of that.

And btw, she bought the gun last year after her brother was murdered in the streets. Some lessons are hard learned but sometimes that knowledge pays off? ....
