Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Something Just Ain’t Right Here

So let me get this straight. They found a body in the park the other night. It went to the medical examiner’s office. The last Memphis medical examiner was found by a security guard in 2002, chained to a stairwell at his office, bound in barbed wire with a bomb tied to his chest. People think he did it to himself, that it is a case of factitious victimization (when someone claims to be a victim to get sympathy). He was indicted. Here are a few articles about it. I hope the new medical examiner is better. I’d like to know what happened to this woman.

In other news, a cop was shot in the park last night.

You know, I’m feeling a lot less foolish about getting that iron grate installed on the window of my back door now.

Does Anyone Else See the Link Here?

Oh OK. I get it. So we want schools to be safe, so we are going to stop paddling students in school? Wait… these stories aren’t related? Weird! I wonder why not?! The connection seems so very logical to me. Silly me… all that logic. I don’t know what I was thinking!

Both of these reports are from WREG, a local news station:
