I'm Back

After a two week hiatus, I'm back on the blogosphere, somewhere. Lot's of stuff has been happening, most of which involves Dale and his kidney transplant, and shuttling their kids back and forth from Paris to Baylor. But all is going well for them now - they are back home, which means no more road trips to Dallas (sniff).

Speaking of road trips, I had a nice one earlier this week. Well, it was for a bad reason (a death in the family) but I love road trips anyway, so I made the best of things, even though there was some inital, ahem, reticence on my part to go. (Reticence being the nicest word for what I was really feeling). The drive down to Sinton (30 miles from Corpus Christi, TX) was nice, as was the return trip, even though we got in at nearly 1 AM Wednesday morning. The funniest part of the whole trip was finding out from the guy at the Motel 6's front desk that they didn't have wireless internet (!!!!!!). He then suggested I go to the Best Western Parking lot next door and use theirs - he did it all the time, apparently.

And that's really everything worth posting - wow, my life is boring. I need a good road trip or something, not that it's likely anytime soon. Oh well...

Doggie Ransom

I read about this today (just take a peek really quick - I'll wait.)

Okay, finished? So basically, someone is holding this guy's dog Edna ransom. The dognapper appears to be a kid.

First off, although I know as Christians we are supposed to show mercy and forgiveness, if someone dognapped Snickers, then threatened to hurt her unless I paid up...well, there would be no punishment sufficient for them, whether the criminal was merely a kid or not. People who would willfully torture and hurt dogs for fun (or profit) should be shot on sight, with no due process or anything of that nature. I know that's a rather extreme position, but oh well - if it was Snickers being tortured by someone while I listened on the phone (as the dognapper threatened to do in the news article) then I would cheerfully shoot them with a gun, if I had one. Again, it's an extreme position, but if anyone ever hurt Snickers, they would pay, and pay dearly.
