In the interview between the distressed neighbor and the 911 dispatcher, the neighbor sounds as though he is desperately trying to hold it together to avoid further traumatizing the child.

And his parents, who seemed like they were supporting everything he did, despite knowing better, will be past doing so when he gets out.

We never had to deal with wildfire loss, but did lose an old outbuilding due to a wind downburst. (I had just hung up with a friend saying it the wind storm wasn't that bad, and heard a loud bang. I looked out the windows and saw the the outbuilding had been flattened. Had a brisk time moving the ho...

When we went there as a day trip from Santa Fe last summer, I remember being told that Madrid is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable: rhymes with SAD rid, more or less.

I have an in-law that lives in an older part of Denver, Colorado. We were visiting over Thanksgiving, and my in-law told me not to drink the tap water because of lead pipe contamination. There is a fifteen year plan to remediate the pipes, but in the meantime, the utility is providing a water pitche...

Stepping on a partially chewed cow hoof is worse.

I was driving my mother to the polls when one of the questions on the ballot was support for same sex marriage here in Colorado. Since she was a Catholic convert, and her opinions were all over the political map, I was surprised when she muttered "people ought to be able to marry who they want....

Rise in A1C was worth it.

The sushi sounds like a good idea! Hope she has a better trip today. Yes, the freezing rain, which is coming, held off. She is in Dallas now. Our SIL visiting Colorado is getting snow. We got snow here in Colorado Springs last night. I spent the night at a friend's house: she is recovering from sur...

I am so sorry.

Hi, Shannon. I love the name Shannon.

At 1:50 Mountain Daylight Time on Friday, it is back to normal for me.

I am so glad you, your partner, and your cats are okay. How terrifying.

I woke up this morning to find a friend had sent me an email that hell has frozen over: Colorado Springs has elected a liberal*, black immigrant as mayor in a run-off election. There were a lot of candidates in the original election, including some who could give Lauren Boehbert a run for her money ...

The good news is that we both seem to be on the mend except that we want to sleep all the time. I slept a full 10 hours last night which probably hasn't happened in 20 or 30 years. I normally sleep about 6 hours a night. Sleeping in is 7 hours for me. It's just the way I'm wired. I took a two hour ...

The one time I saw a porcupine in the wild I was too busy hanging onto a leashed 95 pound dog who wanted to get up close and personal with it to really look at it. It was bigger than I expected and I kept chanting to myself: $500 vet bill. $500 vet bill. And.... I managed the wrestle him away. A $5...

Yeah, on the bright side, when Musk gets down to just one remaining employee, he will know for sure who is shadow-banning him. And then that dude is fired, too also! :banana: If'n I was a Twit employee, I'd be job hunting ASAP and get the heck outta there. I'm pretty sure by now those with in-deman...
