On a mission; Back home: Mayhem

Perhaps I was a little premature about a “new look” for the old blog. Maybe that should be called “premature eblogulation?”

My friend Paul worked furiously to get EFD back in to fighting shape after some type of virus got into the “wires.” There is still a good intention — and you know what we say about those — to make changes here and there that will continue to improve the blog … so we can start and do it all over again. Life is a wheel, friends and neighbors.

Today I am in an undisclosed location in the Dallas-Fort Worth-general area undergoing a training mission. I decided I would call it that rather than a “class” or a “week-long conference.” Words spice up the dull in life. That’s why lies were made.

A lot is going on in the country, in the world back home in Beaumont, Texas, where I live. Wow, four murders in two days. A mother and daughter murdered, one man shot dead in an apartment courtyard and a convenience store clerk killed last night. That’s a lot of carnage for a town of some 115,000. It’s not unheard of, but it is shocking for most folks. Who knows why such things happen. One of the murder suspects in one of the cases allegedly held up an arcade recently and made the workers take off their clothes before he left. Well, let’s hope this is an anomaly. Elseways, we in a heap o’ trouble, boy.
