It’s raining. AGAIN.
This was the wettest April on record for Bloomington. According to the local paper, it rained 18 out of 30 days last month, most of that in the last two weeks, which had only three rain free days. It’s wet, y’all.
Alsoplustoo, Miss Brown would like everyone to know that going outside to pee in the rain really, really, REALLY sucks, and that she deserves an extra special treat for doing so.
In entirely-unrelated-to-the-weather news, I’m a little nauseated by all the joyful joy that people are feeling at the news that Osama bin Laden was killed. The whole thing makes me feel skeevy. Yes he was a pretty awful human being, but killing people is always wrong. Executing someone without even the pretense of a trial is evil. When we give in to vengeance, we become no better than terrorists ourselves. When we dehumanize people by painting them as monsters, by turning them into something not human, then we give up all moral high ground. Even Osama bin Laden had a mother and father who loved him once.
What we did? It was not justice, and it was not something to be joyful about.
