Sad and Stupid

I have been following the story of the Hyatte's - the couple in Tennessee, where he is in prison, she is a prison nurse who is fired for her involvement with him, so she busts him out of jail and kills a prison guard. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/10/courthouse.shooting/index.html

Thankfully they were caught tonight, and they should have been. I would love to someday hear them explain my big question. Which is, you pull off a big jailbreak. You then stay in friggin motels and go out in public so people can see you? You take a cab from the scene of one motel to the next? I wouldn't be in this situation, but, I have one word - camping. Okay, a couple more camping supplies. Geez. Ahhh, George and Jennifer Hyatte, I am glad you went down without anymore loss of life. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Cotton Morgan, the officer killed. He sounds like a really nice man and he so did not deserve this. http://www.volunteertv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3701601

And I don't even know what to say about this story - http://www.local10.com/news/4833092/detail.html?subid=22100404&qs=1;bp=t
I recall when this first hit the news, but, missed some of the aftermath. What an arrogant beotch.

So, the blog is changing. I am a crime and news junkie and have decided to express my opinions on those subjects but will still blog about other aspects of my life. But just writing daily housewife stuff isn't as much fun as one might think. Hard to go back and recap the past week or so, but, in a few words - I have bad hay fever, the guarfenesin is maybe working, maybe not. It is really hot. And I have perfected the art of smoking pork butts in my Weber.

And I found a butcher. A real butcher that knows his cuts of meat!!!! I will be having a lot of fun with my Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook - which by the way is a really great cook book. It is too hot for a lot of that kind of food right now.

Tonight the Wild Child and I ordered out to a local pizzaria as The Rock is away on business and we deserved a treat. But, not any we had to go out in the heat for.
