Thank you Jama!


Merry Christmas everyone!

We had thunderstorms and lots of rain this morning. Seemed strange to have that kind of weather in December, but yesterday it got up in the 60's. I think it is supposed to get back down in the 20's tonight. The rainy weather is ok, even the cold weather is ok but I don't like all these drastic weather changes much, it seems like if I am going to get a cold or sick it happens when the weather is doing that.

While talking to my mom yesterday she told me a scary story. This happened in Parsons, and the woman was my uncle's first wife. (They were divorced when I was quite young so I don't know her personally). My mom called her though after it happened. She told my mom she was out walking her small dog, it was after dark but not that late. She passed a man in baggy black jeans and a hooded type shirt and she said she felt uncomfortable, but he walked on past her and didn't pay any attention to her so she didn't think anything more about it. She has a handi-cap ramp on her house because her mom lives with her and her mom is in a wheelchair, anyway when she got home she was about halfway up the handicap ramp when she heard what sounded like clothes rustling behind her and she turned around and this guy was right there. He had a knife. She said she didn't really feel pain at the time, it felt like he was hitting her with a "rolled up newspaper" but she instinctfully put her arm over her abdomen where he was hitting her so that probably saved her from getting hurt worse. She did have to have surgery on her arm.

Somehow she managed to kick him away/get away and ran in the house, dragging her dog with her and he just walked away. She called 911 and while the police was going to her house this guy went a few houses down and apparently according to her broke into a house where a couple teenage boys were watching a movie and stabbed one of them. He was in critical conditon. The police did catch him. They told her that he told them the voices in his head gave him permission to do all this and while he was sitting in the cell he was talking to people who wasn't there. Scary stuff, you just never know who that person is that is walking past you on the street, even in a regular Kansas town, could be some crazy person off their meds. One just never knows. I didn't find much about it online, but here is a link about it.
