James Brady's death has now been declared a homicide as it was determined he died from the gunshot wounds received thirty-plus years ago when he and President Reagan were both shot.



Interesting that it is declared a homicide, not that it is.  How often is an old injury like this declared a homicide?

And now, from the "How Was YOUR Day?" department:  Itch-scratching elephant terrifies occupants of car!

Vehicle is badly damaged, occupants shaken but unharmed in South African park:


Oh my and thanks for sharing this story :)   If I survived that I would want the photos.

I've never heard of anything like this.  I can imagine that it could possibly open up a whole floodgate of new charges for people who might've already served their time.

While reading the reviews for today's free Nook book, actually a 78 page novella, one person said they read it in 4-5 hours.  I know I'm a fast reader but is anyone, without a disability, that slow?

Had a really fun lunch, then picked up a few packages, one of which seems to be a book all about barbecue lovers and Texas, by some bloke named John G.

Wish I could send samples with each copy.

My boss found out today he's allergic to beef as well as mesquite, live oak and pecan, which are the woods we use to smoke beef. I think he's saying he's allergic to Texas.

Did he get bitten by the tick that causes a red meat allergy?

This way, if he is released from the loony bin, he can be charged with murder and locked in jail for the rest of his life.

Who knows. But he's not happy. He was a big beef eater.

Why am I getting an e-mail about a Closeout Sale on 2012 Fords?  Aren't the 2015 about to come out?

That's why it's a close out. They haven't sold in 3 years!

Selling country property can take a long time, and in this market who knows.  First we have to decide when we will put it up for sale, possibly in the spring.

We love it here but the children aren't coming home anymore. 
All the more reason to love it!

Homicide is the killing of a human being due to the act or failure to act of another.  It isn't the same thing as murder. I'm not sure that it's common to declare a death a homicide after so many years, but if his death was caused by the gunshot wound...well I supposed technically...

I had to look up the tick induced allergy.  I never heard of anyone being allergic to beef for any reason so I looked it up.  Apparently one can be allergic to all meat.

LOL, though our boys are very bad about calling which is why I want to see them more often.  We raised them to be independent and it is payback time now ;)

Right technically but I doubt it it officially declared very often.
