Wow

I was up early this morning to get to a meeting at church.  While I was getting ready, I was watching one of the local news channels on TV.  The "breaking news" story was of a double homicide in a neighborhood close to Churchill downs late last night. The 'Rents and I didn't even blink an eye at this news.  A couple of hours later, there was another report of another homicide in the east end of town.  Once again, we didn't blink an eye

This is an every day occurrence here in the 'Ville.  We've grown so accustomed to this happening every day that we don't even bat an eye when we hear of another shooting.

It's just like my Sweet Mother says - it's like we're back in the wild, wild west.
