LeftInTX's JournalLittle Afghan refugee child has been abducted
Speaking to KENS 5's Henry Ramos through a translator Tuesday evening, Riaz Sardar Khil thanked searchers for their ongoing efforts in looking for Lina Sardar Khil, whose disappearance led to the issuing of an AMBER Alert Monday night.
"During our entire lives we have not been as saddened as we were yesterday and today," Khil said through his translator before getting emotional.
Khil said Lina's mother was watching her on the playground of their northwest-San Antonio complex when the little girl made her way to a nearby path and suddenly disappeared. Her mother thought she may have returned to their apartment unit, but when she didn't find her there either a search ensued.

"There were other children and adults at the playground area at the time of the disappearance."
Before everyone blames rednecks and Qanon, this was at an apartment complex where many immigrants and refugees live. The apartments are mostly low income. It is an immigrant/refugee community. As a matter of fact, just last week someone told me about the resettlement office and these apartment communities. It's over near Ali Baba, numerous Middle East and Indian restaurants and grocery stores and the UTHSC. The little girl was playing outside and her mother, who is pregnant went inside. When she came out, her little girl was gone. (My guess is it is someone who lives in the apartment complex)
Human remains found 40 years ago identified as member of The O'Jays R&B band
(CNN)Partial human remains found in a garbage bag nearly 40 years ago have been identified as belonging to Frank "Frankie" Little Jr, a member of the R&B band The O'Jays, according to police.
The Twinsburg Police Department in Ohio announced the news on Tuesday, saying DNA from relatives was used to help identify the remains found on February 18, 1982. Police said that not much is known about Little's disappearance and death.
Little was raised in Cleveland, according to the news release. In the mid-'60s, he was a guitarist and songwriter for The O'Jays. The band released a statement to CNN saying that he was part of the band in the early days and that they haven't heard from him since.
"He came with us when we first ventured out of Cleveland and traveled to Los Angeles, but he also was in love with a woman in Cleveland that he missed so much that he soon returned back to Cleveland after a short amount of time," reads the statement.

A better article:
TWINSBURG, Ohio — Human remains discovered in Twinsburg in 1982 have now been identified as those of Frank “Frankie” Little, Jr., who was a guitarist and songwriter for the R&B band The O’Jays, as a result of genealogical research from the DNA Doe Project.
Little was born in Cleveland in 1943 and raised here. In the mid-1960s, he was a guitarist and songwriter for The O’Jays. He also served in the U.S. Army for two years, including a deployment to Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
“Frankie was a member of the band in the 1960s,” Hendershott said. “He played guitar with the band in the studio and on tours.”
Little was last known to reside in Cleveland, and it is believed he was last alive in the mid-1970s. Not much is known about his disappearance or death.

What I learned:
The O'Jays formed way back in 1958
Little was with the group in the early 60's
The group went to California.
Little didn't went to be in California and went home to be with his GF (The band probably lost touch with him shortly after)
Little went to Vietnam
He was last seen in the late 70s
His body was dumped what appears to be a rural area.
You wonder what he did with himself from the time he left the O'Jays until the time he disappeared? You wonder what happened with his girlfriend? Was he drafted? What was life like for him after Vietnam?
Everyone has a story. He had a brush with fame, which draws our interest, but everyone has a story.
Whoever killed him, knew him. We wonder what happened to meet such as gruesome end.
So many questions about a life cut tragically short...

Texas loses ranking as top grapefruit producer due to brutal cold snap back in February
Texas loses ranking as top grapefruit producer due to brutal cold snap back in February
Nine months following the historic February Freeze across Texas, the state's grapefruit industry is still reaping the detrimental impacts from the frigid weather.
The winter outbreak that had swept into the subtropical southeastern portion of the state on Valentine's Day ushered in icy conditions and extreme cold temperatures that damaged two different crops of grapefruit across the region. This season's crop of grapefruit, which had only been blooming at the time of the winter outbreak, is expected to provide less than a third of an average harvest.
Texas had been the number one provider of fresh grapefruit in the nation ahead of the outbreak, but the damage done to the groves has since dropped them down to third in the nation, Dale Murden, the president of Texas Citrus Mutual, a trade group that represents the interests of the state's citrus growers, told AccuWeather's National Reporter Bill Wadell.
Murden had also spoken with AccuWeather via email back during February. Also a grower, he had mentioned that when temperatures dip below 28 degrees and stay below that mark for five hours or longer, the fruit on the branches begins to freeze on the inside, damaging the crop. "Most everyone" saw temperatures drop to at least 21 degrees, he had added

This news is a month old, but it explains why I couldn't find my wonderful Texas grapefruit at the grocery store today. I miss my 5 pound bags of Texas Sweet Scarletts

I saw the Rolling Stones in Austin!
The venue was huge. It was an outdoor concert and we stood the entire time. (I thought we were gonna have seats..LOL)
It was at a Formula One racetrack.
Mick Jagger's voice and dance moves have not changed. Mick apparently familiarizes himself with locations prior to going onstage. He says, "What do you think of Elon Musk moving to Austin?"...The crowd all says, "Boo!"

Steve Jordan is the new drummer

We just got home. We stayed in the parking lot until after 1 am, then drove back to San Antonio.
How Walker County Jane Doe Was Identified at Last
Since 1980, police and an army of amateur sleuths have puzzled over the East Texas cold case. New forensic DNA techniques have finally given a name to the teenage girl whose brutal murder has haunted so many for so long.
McRae revealed that Jarvis was born on March 9, 1966, meaning she was just fourteen when she was killed. Contrary to longtime theories about her hailing from Rockport or Aransas Pass (two locations Jarvis reportedly mentioned to a Hitchin’ Post waitress), she was actually raised in the small town of Stillwater, Minnesota, about 25 miles east of Minneapolis. According to a lengthy statement from the family read by a sheriff’s deputy, Jarvis had been seized by local authorities at the age of thirteen due to charges of habitual truancy. Shortly after her fourteenth birthday, she ran away for good.
“We lost Sherri more than 41 years ago and we’ve lived in bewilderment every day since, until now as she has finally been found,” the statement said. “Sherri Ann Jarvis was a daughter, sister, cousin and granddaughter. She loved children, animals and horseback riding. . . . She was deprived of so many life experiences as a result of this tragedy. She was denied the opportunity to experience romance and love, marital bliss, the heartache and pain of loss, the pure joy of having children or growing old and being able to reflect on such milestones afforded an abounding lifetime. . . . You are with mom and dad now, Sherri, may you rest in peace.”
According to her brother, Don, who exchanged a series of messages with administrators of the “Who Was Walker County Jane Doe?” Facebook group back in September, the last correspondence Jarvis had with her family came in the form of a letter to her mother postmarked in Denver. In it, Jarvis said she’d contact the family sometime between her eighteenth and twenty-first birthdays. Despite multiple attempts to locate her, including hiring a private investigator and keeping the same home phone number for decades in hopes she’d call someday, they never heard from her again.

Medina County child contracts rabies after being bit by a bat, Texas DSHS says
The state health department said the child is currently being treated in a hospital and that the department has contacted those who may have been exposed.
MEDINA COUNTY, Texas — The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) says it is investigating a case of rabies.
A child contracted the disease after being bit by a bat and is now receiving medical treatment at a hospital, according to DSHS. The child is a resident of Medina County, near San Antonio.
Public health personnel have identified all the places where someone could have come in contact with the bat or child and have contacted anyone who may have been exposed to rabies. Health officials are now assessing those individuals to determine their risk and whether they should receive post-exposure vaccination to prevent them from getting sick with rabies.
DSHS said those who need to be assessed have received a phone call or written notification from the state health department.

Going back, going back (Volver, Volver)
Versions: #1#2
This passionate love
is completely exhilarated for going back
I'm on my way to madness
and even if everything tortures me I know how to love.
We parted some time ago
but my moment to lose has come
you were very right I listen to my heart
and I'm dying for going back
And going back, going back, going back to your arms once more
I'll get to your whereabouts I know how to lose,
I know how to lose I want to go back, go back go back
We parted some time ago
but my moment to lose has come
you were very right I listen to my heart
and I'm dying for going back
And going back, going back, going back to your arms once more
I'll get to your whereabouts I know how to lose,
I know how to lose I want to go back, go back go back

Illinois man died of rabies, after refusing the vaccine
Woke up with a bat on his neck. He was 87. Happened in Sept. First case in 67 years.
https://www.npr.org/2021/09/29/1041457232/rabies-illinois-man-death-rare-public-health
The majority of human rabies cases in the US involve people who have traveled from another country. Some have come from Mexico/Central America etc, where vampire bats are common. However bats in the US do carry rabies. The Brazilian freetail bat migrates to Mexico in the winter and roosts in caves with vampire bats.
However, the man in the article was bitten by a little brown bat.
Rabies often are not fatal in bats, hence that is why they carry them more than other mammals.
