Good morning, good people!

I hope you have a nice weekend planned!

I wrote about my neighbor/client/friend who spent her who 86 years of life ropin' and riden', and cattle ranching. Her published obit quoted her saying "The best seat I ever had was my saddle".

I will attend her viewing this afternoon.

But days later, another neighbor/friend/client, age 40, died by suicide. Maybe. She was thrilled about her son overcoming his drugs use and quitting school to run away, only to return home, great positive change, set to graduate 4 days prior to her suicide by hanging. The reformed son, her pride and joy, found her hanging in the closet. Oh, and her daughter's wedding is this week.

Now, if you think that is somehow "off", you start reminding me of me. It is possible her depression from separating from her second husband sent her to the dr. for SSRIs. They have a way of repairing depression by sending you to suicide.

We shall see.

I was her divorce attorney back in the day, and got her custody of her son and daughter. I would never have gone in if I thought she would ever hurt her kids. Yet another justification for me to walk away from family law, which I have this month. Her kids, especially her son, will never be able to forget this. Their lives are forever diminished, if not ruined.

As for good news, the fledgling red headed woodpecker finally figured out that in order to pick at the feeder and get a seed, peck at the holes, not the mesh wire. He is not retarded! I am so proud!

As for Cornyn and Paxton, I hate Paxton, hate Cornyn more. But, I am no fan of Talarico and think he is a nut. Under vote, come November.

From my college days: ( Missed it live...my dr. said I was to ill to risk attending Woodstock.)

So, what is up with you folks? This is an open thread, open to all info you wish to share with your friends on the site.

With that said, let 'er rip!
