Been one hell of a month in Juneau. January 1st is just another day. But it does seem to click on the "Refresh" button in the minds of many, for a time. Here's to a rash of clicks in our town for a Happy New Year! (Hope that's politically correct.)
@skirz
Shut up.
My sympathies to all involved.
@Jo
I'm glad and even "Refreshed" to know that there are other empathetic people towards such tragedies.
Me too, true.
Jo's post is just oozing with empathy. I concur that this is another sad event. Just don't see anything offensive in my post.
@skirkz
yeah, these people are [filtered word].
as the sage ICE-T once said lo the many years ago, "on with the body count!"
My thoughts and prayers
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of both the victims. I pray that Linda has a fast and full recovery and may the lord comfort her.
@JO
What gives? Somebody not wring their hands hard enough for you? How about a new years resolution for you; Promise to live by your own golden rule..... Try not to attack anyone in the new year. If you can even make it for a whole day many people will rejoice!
