No Noose

Last night I widely avoided a tornado by sitting at home. There was some good wind and rain but not too much damage in this neighborhood. In the afternoon I had cleaned and repaired the rain gutters, so last night's rainwater was drained expeditiously. Still tired of the Country Music dominating the Newspaper, but I suppose that is similar to the Derby in Louisville. It is with some concern that I report that a Warner Bros. executive was shot in his car while searching for a parking space near his East Nashville home. This area is gentrifying at a rapid pace but there is still widespread poverty and crime. People pass through here on their way from the ghetto to the projects. Not any less serious was the random shooting of a 15 year old girl who was visiting her friend living in a public housing project. It was her first time ever visiting the bricks> They were upstairs doing each others hair when she was shot in the head by a hoodlum enraged because he was unable to collect $155 in a street dice game.
