Just trying something out.

The California fires

Terrible they indeed are and my thoughts go out to these people who have had their homes and posessions destroyed. However......is it just me or is there a marked difference in the response from the Bushbabies administration compared to the response (or lack of) to the New Orleans floods? Am I just imagining that it could be because New Orleans was full of poor black people and California?...well, say no more.

Wide mouthed woman

We went to the Harvester for a meal, not expecting complete silence you understand but at least some "normal" general chat.What hit me the moment we walked in was some female voice loud and whiny and way over everyone elses.I couldnt believe what I was hearing.Everyone was attempting to have conversations but this damn womans voice drowned everything. Imagine if you will, chalk scraping on a blackboard at 60 decibels.If I think of more analogies Ill print them.

Strangely, the people she was with did nothing to shut her up. The people on the next table had suffered it all through their meal.Ours was just beginning.

I had just grasped a serrated steak knife and was rising from my chair with the intention of cutting her throat, yes , I do mean it, when she left, with her entourage.

A stunned silence (almost) descended over the restaurant and I was saved from a life sentence for murder.

I may have got manslughter under the circumstances.
