Ponderin' the News

No time left in a single full day to write about what's on my mind. It's been a while since I've posted, and I am overwhelmed with all the news, day by day.

The crash of the Flight 447, disappears into a storm, never to be heard from again.

A follow up report in the Statesman about the woman who jumped to her death from the overpass at 35/Ben White, and the devastation it brought to a woman, just newly married.

A woman arrested for killing her husband by administering lethal doses of mixed up medication and water through his IV. She reportedly tried to commit suicide, but failed. Now she gets to spend the next couple of weeks wondering if she'll be a free woman. Point is, she had not been free for a while. Free from taking care of her husband since he suffered from a paralyzing disease. Her insurance ran out, and they had to depend on the State Funded Medicaid Program to pay for his care, which pretty much turned out to be very scarce, and so she took on the job as his caretaker.

What amazes me the most is that after I log out, and turn off my computer, every second that goes by until I wake up tomorrow, will be replaced with some drastic story to be told..over the wire..in the paper..on the tube..and in cyberspace.
