This is nothing new. We've had swat teams running through the parking lot (twice), men arrested right in the street in front of our building, kids vandalizing the floor in which our office resides, the locks on our cars punched out, etc. It's gotten much worse since we moved into the area about 12 years ago, and needless to say, our office will be moving out of this area at the end of this year. We've had enough.
At any rate, when Marty drove me to work this morning, just a few days after the shooting, we got an eye full of an elderly lady standing on the corner, wearing a football helmet.
We could only surmise that she now feels the needs to wear one to deflect bullets that may come her way. Although it is sad in a way that she feels like her life is in danger and believes she can protect herself by wearing a helmet, we could not help but find a small bit of humor in her costume. I thought I'd share it with my blog fans to show that no matter how bad we may think our problems are, there is always someone who is worse off.
By the way... that's not her belly sticking out...it's her boobs --just FYI.
