no rant, house fire, welcome to Jeff's new diggs

                              

I was going to rant this entry.  I had it all worked out in this crazy brain of mine.  But then I decided what the heck? No one wants to hear it.  No one will understand it.  I tend to ramble when I rant.  What good would it do?  It would just make me look more like the crazy person that I am.  So no rant.  At least not this entry.  If it builds up again I may have to vent.

Just found out yesterday: my cousin (that lives around the NC coastal region) house burnt down this past Friday.  They had just moved into this year.  It's all gone. Nothing left.  They were thinking of moving to be closer to her mom (who has been really going downhill since G killed himself this summer), but I really don't think they wanted/needed this to happen.

The fire started in the kitchen.  S had left something on the stove and went outside and forgot all about it.  Sounds like a really dumb thing to do, but also like something any of us could do.

Everyone is ok, people fine and I am assuming all the animals are ok.  They had a bunch of hunting dogs and last time I saw them they the dogs in pens.

Just when you think you got it bad then you hear of something like that. S and her husband loosing everything.  Their kids are grown and out of the house so I guess that's a good thing.  S has like a million brothers/sisters that will end up being a big help to them I am sure.

Oh almost forgot.  Editor Jeff has now offically taken over (now) ex-editor Joe's journal.  Go over and give Jeff a really warm welcome.  And check out the granny with a machine gun video he has posted.  Go Granny!!!!!  ------>>> click here
