Newsy Stuff

So I'm runnin outta steam and/or coherency, here, so this will be my last post. If my boss weren't in such a snit over the scarcity of coverage this morning, I'd try to go home. Though, I'm not sure how much good I'll do him laying back in my chair in the dark attempting to stay vewy, vewy quiet. Oh well.

Jeanne

Okee... misc. news: Back up to a Tropical Storm, Ivan has turned himself around and moseyed his way back to spread some more joy to the Gulf Coast states of Texas and Louisiana. And Jeanne has now puffed herself up to a Category 2 Hurricane, claimed over 1100 lives in Haiti, and is predicted to grow to Category 3 by time she becomes the 4th Hurricane in a row to pummel Florida... most likely on Sunday. I swear, I'd be living somewhere else by now.

Serial Rapists

But the really weird news eerily echoes a conversation I had with the Fussbudget just this week. She was telling me how there's a serial rapist in her hometown... draggin women out of their apartments, taken them somewhere else to violate them, then returning them to their homes. As if front door service somehow makes up for it or somethin... *snort*

Amway, just this morning, I hear on the news that the police think there might be a serial rapist right here in MY town. There have so far only been two incidents, but they happened within a short timeframe of each other, and their situations were similar. I don't know how so, however. The report was kind enough to alarm everybody, but failed to make note of what we should look out for. So now I need to heed my own admonimitions to my friend to be careful out there.

And with that pleasant thought, I believe I will wrap up for today. Only an hour and a half more at work, and then I'm off to take a whip and a chair to my head. :)
