I have never considered my life a dangerous one. I live in small town America where nothing, I repeat, nothing ever happens. In the past week, I have been proven wrong.
Last week while mindlessly watching the evening news, "this just in" reported a wanted and dangerous man for suspicion of murder by shooting and then hiding the body in a cistern which he then filled in with dirt - back in February!
Up pops the name and picture and what do you know - it was a childhood friend, schoolmate, and family friend. Go figure! You know someone for 32 years and find out he was a murderer - who'da thunk it?
You know how people always say, "he just wasn't the type" - well he wasn't. And I'm not just saying that. There are people I have met and known in my life that truly will not surprise me when their picture shows up on the news as wanted for murder - let's face it we have all met someone like that.
Then yesterday I see on national news that we have a sniper right here in southern Indiana, right on I-65 where I travel every day. Goody.
It is a good thing I already have life insurance - my risk rates just went up.

Yes. Please catch that sniper guy before I drive over to fly out of Indy over labor day weekend. Thank you.
Hope your friend doesn't hit you up for bail $$ when they find him.
How crazy is that? I saw that sniper on the news last night.
I hear psychopaths are often very nice people...think scott peterson (my favorite person to hate).
gnightgirl: What people will do to get attention always amazes me. Travel safely.
No worries on the bail - they didn't offer any. He is sitting this one out.
c: So I wonder how many wrecks will take place because everyone is watching overpasses and parked cars instead of the road?
if only you could have spotted your "old friend" on the back of a milk carton... someone else would be around to hide from the sniper.
stay safe!
All is well. The crafty detective work of po dunk authorities found the culprit. A 17 year-old "hunter" who has a record of previous brushes with the law for “crimes of sex and theft."
Oh goody, young Ted Bundy was on the loose.
OMG! I can't believe it was a teenager! Good thing he is now off the streets. Can you imagine the things he could have done if he wasn't caught?
