Mar 2017

I've had people confront me over the stupidest things. Like when I had a bumper sticker on my car that read "My other car is a broom," some a-hole pulled up beside me and rolled down his passenger window and yelled "You're going to hell!" Then he started following me except that I wasn't going to play his nasty little game, so I turned the tables on him by driving up to the local police station and pulling into the drive right up front of the station where the cops kept their patrol cars parked. SOB turned around and peeled off like a jack rabbit. Those people are almost always cowards. I'm sorry that agenasolva and his family had to go through that. We ARE in the majority and we're working to make things better, but all too often, change can't happen fast enough. We WILL make things change - maybe sooner, maybe later - but it will happen. Can't happen fast enough for me.
