Going Postal and other fun dances

I am back. I was taken by that woman in California (?), the former postal worker, who went back to her former place of employment and went, well...postal. She killed seven, I think, former co-workers, herself (I think, I really did not read for details, just scanned so I am fuzzy on the particulars of this one, but at least I admit that) and a former neighbor of hers when she lived in California. She had moved to New Mexico after losing her job, though it could be the opposite, where she did her killing in New Mexico and had moved to California, it does not really matter.

It was odd. This was not a female thing to do. This was very male. It was the cliche of going postal. I am struck how "ordinary" it has become. I was not "shocked" to hear of a postal worker or former postal worker going back to his place of employment and settling his grudges the American Way, with a gun. I am not slagging Americans or America here, it is just manifestation of some of the "costs" of American society. I think that the benefits outweigh the costs on whole, but there are things that could certainly be improved.

Anyway, I am just shocked at how ordinary this sort of thing is. Has Nancy Grace (I really loathe her, assuming that what I see is not merely her "show" facade) been going off on this one? I think she is more taken with the abductions and murders du jour. It almost too much to bear, but bear I will.

The Superbowl (XL) is set to go on Sunday. Being a Steelers fan from the 70s, I am relishing this. Go Steelers! Win a ring for the Bus and Coach Cowher!

That was quite the digression. Funny, but I think the thought train just jumped the track. This is uncharted water for me. I am working here without a safety net. I will be okay as long as I do not look down. Damn that vertigo. The room is spinning. If you hear a thud it is only me passing out. The feeling is gone now. Where was I?......

Oh yeah, ciao! Get ready to Go Postal! And a birthday send out to Mr. Hayeems, enjoy it where ever you are.
