10049. iiibbb - 6/26/2004 1:45:02 AM I live in a small college town... pretty quiet... low crime.
My g/f is anxious about a pretty brutal beating/rape that occurred this week in our 'downtown' after all the bars were closing. I won't say that stuff like this doesn't happen around here, but the perpetrator was pretty brazen about it. Apparently they caught a suspect the next day... I have no clue how they found the guy, he was miles from here.
Anyhow... doesn't matter where you live. 10050. iiibbb - 6/26/2004 1:46:54 AM I don't really worry too much about her. She's a black belt... knows exactly which bones to break... assuming there is no ambush by multiple assailents that is. Nothing is guaranteed, but an unwary rapist is going to be in for a rude awakening if they tangle with her. 10051. judithathome - 6/26/2004 1:59:25 AM Well, let's hope she never has to find out. 10052. Ulgine Barrows - 6/26/2004 3:38:21 PM Absensia, did anything important break in that earthquake?
Al I thought was male, Concerned female.
Hi Yaaa! 10053. Ulgine Barrows - 6/26/2004 3:39:25 PM that was a karate kick towards the forces of evil 10054. Absensia - 6/27/2004 1:07:35 AM Ulgine,
No, it was a small quake and no damage was done, fortunately.
G'day, all. Another sunny day here. Not even a chance of rain. Seattle's reputation is going to be ruined if things don't change. I'm off to see F 9/11 later today. 10055. judithathome - 6/27/2004 1:09:18 AM It's raining here and will be for the next 5 days if the weathermen are to be believed. 10056. arkymalarky - 6/27/2004 3:28:24 AM Yeah, I think we're getting Ab's rain. We're leaving day after tomorrow, so if it just won't storm on us while we're on the road I'll be ok.
BTW, I won't be online in all that time, so y'all hold down the fort while I'm gone. We'll be back around July 15. We're going to Eureka Springs on the way home for a state conference. 10057. Absensia - 6/27/2004 3:59:36 AM Yikes, send the rain back, please!
Arky, I'll miss you. I hope you have a great time. 10058. judithathome - 6/27/2004 4:08:36 AM Arky, be careful coming through North Texas...it's nothing but rain, rain, rain, and people who don't know how to drive in it!
If y'all need a rest stop, just holler! 10059. arkymalarky - 6/27/2004 6:36:09 AM Thanks y'all!
We'll probably head through Oklahoma and the Texas Pan Handle, which is our usual route out there, and hopefully there won't be too much traffic in the middle of the week. We're not going through Kansas again, though, no matter what we'd be avoiding in going that route. Never again. 10060. robertjayb - 6/27/2004 6:45:47 AM So, Arky, I guess we won't be able to see you for lunch when we pass through on the way to Wisconsin. Maybe you could leave a little something in the fridge... 10061. judithathome - 6/27/2004 6:47:23 AM Robert, when are you going to Wisconsin? It would be worth it to delay the trip so you could stop by Arky's on the weekend of the big bash. 10062. arkymalarky - 6/27/2004 6:48:25 AM Ooooooh, don't tell me I won't be here and y'all are coming through! If there's any possibility, let me know.
10063. arkymalarky - 6/27/2004 6:49:13 AM What Judith said! 10064. Magoseph - 6/27/2004 8:48:50 PM Hello, everyone. We had an earthquake last night, 4.5 on the scale, which seems to have put some sense in the weather—beautiful days ahead for us for a change. I spent most of yesterday reading “My Life” at my son’s house, hiding from undesirable impromptu visitors at my house. When you live in a resort area, some people just assume that they can stop by any time they wish.
How were your weekends, Ali and Mac? 10065. Macnas - 6/27/2004 9:35:04 PM Nice.
We had a day out on Saturday, I'm going to post an account in Escapes, just for fun. 10066. judithathome - 6/27/2004 10:46:53 PM And such a bonney job you've done of that one! Excellent story and visual description, Mac. You should write full time.
I loved "empty as hasty promises" and the trees talking to each other. 10067. Absensia - 6/27/2004 11:39:23 PM Morning! Another beautiful day here.
Magos, glad the weather is finally turning decent for you! I hope your "guests" went home at a decent hour." 10068. judithathome - 6/27/2004 11:45:40 PM Happy Birthday, Abs!!
