Yes, Al, this...Thanks, everyone, for the comments.<br /><br />Yes, Al, this is another reason to hate hot weather. And that part about being muggy and the day before feeling like winter was kulled from actual events.<br /><br />Monday, I was blowing smoke at five in the morning, out for my daily walk. Yesterday, muggy, sweating my ass off.<br /><br />Michael, you know about these kinds of Minnesota "summers" (note that sarcasm).<br /><br />That bus showing up really put a dent in his plans, Lee. Originally, the mugger was supposed to get shot in the struggle for the gun. Don't know what happened when I sat down and wrote this in a white heat but she didn't die.<br /><br />Randomness of story selection, Col. The whole story came to me yesterday morning during that walk when I saw a woman, frosted blonde hair, standing at the mouth of an alley, looking into said alley. She then turned and looked at me and started to walk in my direction. I kept walking in her direction and listened to her play with something plastic in her pocket. Sounded like a bag but who know what it was. <br /><br />We passed each other without incident or words exchanged but it was really interesting how much of a catalyst it was.<br /><br />Strange how stories fall in your lap sometimes.Christopher Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581243409967241320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-49058105050042394012009-08-26T15:40:49.037+01:002009-08-26T15:40:49.037+01:00Another reason to hate hot weather, and better tha...Another reason to hate hot weather, and better than most.
