Broad daylight on a moderately busy street, 1 mile (seriously by street) from where I grew up. When I go back and visit family and friends, I remember it’s nowhere near like when I grew up there. It’s much less forgiving and much more dangerous.
Frankly, I like the town I live in where I trust my neighbors and they trust me. We know that should the excrement hit the fan, we are more than willing to help each other out.
Yeah, there’s a lot to be said for living out here.
With that in mind, it begs the question, “What does it take to get fired in Bexar county?” Currently she is on unpaid leave and has been since September 28th for an arrest on criminal mischief.
State Sponsored Criminal #495: Susana Lisa Cervantes
Because honestly you need to do a whole hell of a lot worse to actually get fired! Proper behavior only matters if you don’t have a badge.
For you see, when I was about 4 years old my dad took me to an airshow. This the day after I broke my ankle by repeatedly doing something stupid. It was probably about the 10th time that I broke it but I digress.
You see it wasn’t a major break, didn’t swell up, I could still walk on it, it just hurt. So when my dad took me to the airshow the next day I just rode around on his shoulders everywhere. None of us knew it was broken until the next day when I had X-rays because it wasn’t getting better.
At some point during the day, I’m sitting on my dads shoulders and I point to the horizon. Coming in just above the deck are two A-6’s hauling ass like there’s no tomorrow. The go directly over us so close I could swear I could touch them. If you’ve never seen a jet do a flyby it is loud and you can feel that through your whole body.
So there I am, sitting on my fathers shoulders, A-6’s are hauling ass over head and I am a small boy with no verbal filter. Does anyone want to guess what kind of statement I made? Anyone? Bueller?
I said the following once the jets were far enough away:
Daddy, that made my penis tingle!
Before my dad even has a chance to erupt into laughter, the woman standing in front of him turns around and gives this nasty glare and says, “Sir, are you going to correct your son?”
To why my dad then replies along the lines of, “Why? It’s the correct response for the son of a naval flight officer, and that boy knows what he likes!”
Yeah, I hated that story growing up… It was one of my dad’s favorites, I have since begun to appreciate it and understand why. ~sigh~ –B]
Last Friday ( 12.28.2012) my laptop decided to go tango-uniform. The stupid CPU decided to overheat and die. The crappy part is I hadn’t backed it up in a while. Hopefully when the new stuff comes in to build a new computer my darling husband will be able to retrieve the lost information. I don’t recommend AMD CPUs. My husband says this is yet another data point for him in the negative.
Then, to top it all off, my left hand got smashed in the sliding door of a mini van while at work the following day. Hence the reason I have the X-ray above.
F*ckin’ Really?!
What makes this really bad is the fact that my left hand is my good, working hand. My right hand is not fully functional due to radial nerve palsy from the car accident. Having both hands down really sucks, between them I have 1 full hand. Sadly I still need to wear a splint with a thumb spica for the next couple weeks.
Sometimes, when it rains, it pours and now I can’t play my flute or continue my new adventure into learning to play a violin… which I should probably blog.
And thank you to my husband for acting as my dictatorial machine and as my editor correcting grammar and the like. Not to mention the pictures too, he made me look pretty.

Putting aside the pie in the sky impracticality of this, I like to point out to these people that we already had a world without guns; it was called the Middle Ages. It was a peaceful utopia where the lion lay down with the lamb… any time it wanted to, and the lamb just shut up and took it, if the lamb knew what was good for it.
[Yup, that’s about right, but remember for some reason we’re exempt from the laws of nature now days. Lets not forget the gun is civilization. Tim over at GunNuts also did a nice post on this same topic.
