Frogs, murder, super-8
I'm back after my hiatus. It rained.
I began my new position as a reference librarian at a medium sized public library. My first reference question was: Do you have anything on frogs?" Poor kid is going to turn in a PhD dissertation in 4th grade.
I'm opposed to killing people, thus I'm opposed to the death penalty. Some scumbag in Florida killed six people because he was mad that they saved his stuff for him from a house from which he was tossed out because he was living there illegally (the owner went up north so he moved in). He beat the young woman who took care of his things, including his X-box until she could return them to him.
He recruited 3 co-conspirators and beat six people and a dog to death. He was recently released on parole after serving prison time for a myriad of crimes. The sheriff in the county said in a news conference that these people deserve the death penalty. It is remarkably hard to believe otherwise.
If I were to go into combat I would not take a super-8 movie camera to restage battles for film. Then again I am not a self aggrandizing liar.
