what's with all the crazy killings lately??

The NY deal, the Pittsburgh deal, the crazy dad deal... and then a shooting and a stabbing in Honolulu last week. All that in one week. Not to mention all the reports I'm hearing lately of people being stabbed and killed out here... normally it's pretty safe. It was rated the safest big city in the US this year.

But, everyone's going to crazy in a hand basket, so I guess it's all to be expected...


In a completely unrelated note, a power cord outside my window caught fire on Saturday. I got to call the fire department and everything. Don't worry, no one was hurt.
