kyburg | There has to be something on this somewhere -

Shooting victims. Mom's seen them, Jim's seen them.

How old were they, and under what conditions were they shot?

I'd like to poll the hospital workers I know. It would be biased as giddy hell, but I'd ask.

Jim had a 13-year-old Saturday morning with his jaw wired shut and a military-grade round in his gut. As far as he can tell, the kid was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Legal? Should be legal? What the heck. Something wrong with this picture.

And that's been the one, rare case of gunshot in the last nine months or so.

Speaking of Discovery Channel, if anyone would like to glue me to my computer staring at the screen in happy abandon, get the Animal Planet station promo with the "little green frogs that fly" spot on an .avi file for me. (I've already contacted them, and while they are pleased their spot pleases me no end, they haven't got it for me to keep in any format. Buggers.)

Honestly. Best spot of the year. Where the Clio?

I'm bugging Jim to get his college credits in a pile and see if we can't make an AA out of them. He's got a firm schedule now, if he needed some more to finish it up, he could do it.

And nobody would enjoy it more. Here, go sit in a room with a whole bunch of people who only want to talk about what you're reading about - and you have someone who knows more leading the group. Here - go read more about it.

He tests like a mofo, to boot.

He'd like to consider moving up the ladder a bit in the radiology biz - he's going to need some more scholastic depth. I know I would -

Nah, I'm not proud of him. He was working at Kinko's when he got here five years ago, remember?

Going to go feed kitties. Tommorow, they get altered. Tonight, they bathe. Heh.
