I didn't notice until just now that I haven't posted since Monday. Wow, where did the week go? I wasn't doing anything important. Hell, I wasn't doing much of anything at all. :shrug: I guess what I'm saying is don't expect an exciting Sunday Update this week.
Things are happening in the world, of course. Some good, some bad, some exceptionally bad. I don't want to talk about that. For every happy YAY spot, there are a dozen depressing BOO spots.
We had a murder not too far from here, near one of the places I used to fish (but stopped because I wasn't catching anything there and I'd heard it's a popular spot for the junkies... needles laying around and stuff.) That's only the second murder in close proximity since we moved here. A little farther afield and you can add maybe a half dozen more. Still, a pretty safe place to be, especially considering elsewhere in the country and the world. No clue why this recent dude was murdered. They caught the guy. There were holes from a shotgun blast on the outside of his truck and the deceased was killed with a shotgun. My theory is the dead guy tried to make off with the shooter's truck, so the shooter blasted at him. Deceased jumped out and tried to run away, and got blasted. Or he was hit inside the truck and the shooter dragged him out and left him beside the road, where his body was found. Ah, life in the Ozarks.
We also had a drowning. Some 14 year old kid graduated from 8th grade and ended up in water that was either too deep or too fast for him, or both. Sad. They're having a big gathering for him up in town tonight. (Or last night. I wasn't paying that close of attention.)
Personally, I've been laying low. I'm supposed to go up and get my driver's license renewed and new tags for my car sometime before the end of the month. tick tick tick. But I need to get the car inspected and the inspection place I used to use stopped doing that, so I have to find a new place. Unfortunately, it's Memorial Day weekend and this is the Ozarks, so answering phones and returning calls is a low priority around here. I'll try harder next week. (I have to because it's all I have left of the month.)
Anyway... Sorry I was so absent this week. Just one of those things, I guess. I hope you all had a great week and that you have a wonderful weekend. :hugs:
Glad you're still breathing though I've seen you on X so not too worried. It's amazing how time gets away but nothing gets done. I really need to get out of the backwaters and back into the swim of things. Damn book won't write itself.
ReplyDeleteNot much going on here this week either. Hope the lake people don't drive y'all crazy this weekend. And hope you find a new place to fish. Hang in there! Later tater.
