When The Long Arm Of The Law Finally Catches Up With Justice
Hello, everybody, hello!
Well, after about two and a half months, finally, some good news from the Gulf of Mexico! Word comes from the news media that a brand new cap is going to be put over the well cap that will finally seal it and prevent more oil from leaking out! True, some oil is going to leak when they took off the existing cap this past weekend, but, from what I've heard, this new cap is supposed to do the job. Let's hope all our prayers are going to be answered and this is finally the solution to all our problems.
In other important news, this past week, the law finally caught up with the infamous "Grim Sleeper," who has been terrorizing the people here in South Los Angeles for some 25 years, and, from what I've been hearing, this person, Lonnie David Franklin, Jr, was just an "average member of the neighborhood." Sure, he was a little, um, shady at times (he was a dealer in what we would say, "hot merchandise," and I don't mean hot in temperature), but nobody, and I mean, nobody, would have even suspected him in the murder of ten people and the attempted murder of one, who managed to survive. This caught everyone on the small, working class block where he lived, right off guard, and shocked and surprised just about everyone there. Well, to paraphrase what Stephanie Miller once said on her radio show, people who live next door to serial killers aren't exactly the brightest bulbs on the marquee. Either the neighbors aren't very aware of what's going on, or the suspects are the best Academy and Emmy Award deserving actors in the universe.
And finally, I hope all of you had a very good Forth of July last week. I know we did. We had enough barbecue and stir-fried vegetables and potato salad and watermelon fruit salad to feed the entire block, even though all our family and friends managed to eat it all up. Afterwards, we all went down to Hawthorne Park to view the fireworks being set off, although I had to leave Bootsie at home. After all, fireworks and pets don't mix. But, anyway, we all had a very good time last Sunday.
Well, that's all for this week. Until next week, be well, stay well, and don't forget to help the survivors of the earthquakes!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
