Later we had some TORRENTIAL rain. Bubbles was out on the porch and I jumped up to let her in, but I was too late, and she'd dived underneath the house. When she emerged several hours later, when it was dry and sunny, she looked so bedraggled, her little face and whiskers all covered in debris.
This evening I went to the movies, and saw 'Spy'. It didn't have much of a story line, it was all stunts, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. So damned by that faint praise, I don't expect any of you to go rushing off to see it, unless stunts are what you like.
A few days ago I mentioned the family in the reality tv show 19 Kids and Counting and ............I know, shame on me.......I picked up this bit of gutter press all about them. I know I need to get a life.
The scandal was supposed to be 'all taken care of' but this son is a serious child molester, worse than they thought. If it weren't for the fact that the Statute of Limitations has run out - this was more than ten years ago - the parents would be arrested for allowing this child molestation to go on in their home. I still can't get my head round their naiveté in thinking they could make a reality tv programme, and it would never come out. If they'd stayed under the radar it might not have come out, but now the world and his dog know all about their guilty secret.
And what else is in the news.................oh yes, the escaped convicts with nothing to lose. They are still on the run and don't look - a week later - as if they are going to be arrested anytime soon. And no one has a clue as to where they can be. Their accomplice in the tailoring shop has appeared in court, hand cuffed and miserable, and doesn't seem to be able to shed any light on their whereabouts. Apparently she was in a 'relationship' with one of them, and the plan was that she would escape with them in an SUV when they emerged from the manhole. On one level one can't help feeling sorry for the circumstances of her life, that she was taken in, conned, by someone who made her feel important. I think others feel that too, and she is just going to be charged with the minimum, they're not throwing the book at her, but she is still looking at a seven year sentence.
And ISIS of course. Still winning the War on Terror Obama said he will send in 450 troops to 'train' the Iraqis What is needed is a sustained bombing campaign, but he is not going to do that. He was elected to Office on the promise that all troops would be withdrawn, and all wars in the Middle East would be won. I can see the bind he is in.
