Cleaning Closets, Crazy Weather & Airport Shootings

I finished the book. Boy, I didn't see the end coming at all. 

I was shocked. Really I was. I'm not going to say more. I don't want to spoil it for those who might read it.

I want to know what you think if you read it.

Here's some news I saw on the internet.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- 

Oklahoma City police have confirmed that one person who was shot at the Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City, Tuesday afternoon has died. 

The male victim, identified as Michael Winchester, an employee of Southwest Airlines, was transported to a local hospital shortly after 12:50 p.m., police said. 

Police confirmed that the airport is closed while authorities investigate. Police said they do not have a suspect in custody, but they are still searching.

"At this point in time, we located one victim and we're looking for a second reported victim," Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama told reporters. "We don't have any information to put out on the suspect vehicle or the suspect itself, but gunshots were heard."

Authorities later ruled out the possibility of a second shooting victim.

People at the airport were urged to take shelter immediately after the incident.

Police told airport officials they believe the incident was an isolated event

.

A plane carrying federal prison inmates was allowed to land Tuesday afternoon and some of the dozens of vehicles backed up were being allowed to leave.

Airport spokesman Karen Carney said the facility remains closed, but the Federal Transfer Center aircraft that landed shortly after 3 p.m. has its own security and goes directly to the federal prison that's located on airport property.

Police were also searching the vehicles and taking photos of license plates.

The only other aircraft in the sky was a police helicopter that was circling the airport.

Police said they are not treating the situation as an active shooter situation. They said they are doing a sweep of the area to make sure the suspect is not still on scene. All airport arrivals and departures have been suspended until further notice. Police said they expect the airport to reopen Wednesday.

Has the whole world gone crazy? Can you imagine the chaos of people trying to go somewhere or are coming home? 

I spent the morning cleaning out one of the big closets in my bedroom. Boy, was that a job.

I don't know where this stuff comes from. Seems like it walks itself in here while I'm sleeping and plops itself in my closets. And multiplies by the day.

Every few months it's a mess again.

This entailed more purging and walking to the end of the block to the dumpster.

I'll have to rest up a bit to tackle the other one.

I noticed the other day that my cow had some white streaks at the top. I'm sure I dropped it and it hit on something. Or it got hit with the ceiling fan. 

I do things like that a lot. I forget the thing is on.

What to do? I took a dark-colored pencil and filled it in. 

Presto! No more white streaks. Well, you might see them with a flashlight. But I'm not about to pull one out and torture myself.

I'm still in my shorts and t-shirt. With the air conditioning on.
 
When is the weather going to look at the calendar and realize it's supposed to be cooler come Thanksgiving? Which is right around the bend.

Didn't Mother Nature get the memo? Maybe it's that crazy daylight savings time messing her up. Or global warming. Something.

Guess I'm going to have a bowl of taco soup tonight. I put one of the baggies in a bowl in the fridge to thaw last night. That and a piece of cornbread will suit me mighty fine. 

Charlie goes back to the eye specialist next week. His eye, I'm happy to report, is looking much better! I put drops in twice per day.

Gotta love this pic I found...

I don't think I've ever seen a cat smile. 

Now Abi smiles. In a weird fashion. She raises one side of her top lip and shows her teeth. 

I dunno. Would probably frighten some people to see it.

Gotta start another book tonight. Happy reading!
