Evening news is where they begin with "Good evening" and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

Has the world gone bat-shit crazy?

Did you hear about the story of a woman in Brooklyn who was set on fire by a former employee as she was exiting her elevator at her home?????? Read it here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57345008-504083/brooklyn-woman-burned-alive-in-apartment-elevator-by-her-former-employee-police-say/

I saw this story on the news last night and thought, "Oh shit, now I have to worry about crazy people carrying around lighter fluid, dousing me with it, and setting me ablaze? Don't I have enough shit to worry about????"  And then, of course, I thought about the poor woman who was killed. Of course. What possesses a person to do something like this? "Possess" is definitely the correct term. Insane would be another.

I'm going to start carrying around a fire extinguisher everywhere I go. OR, perhaps I should look into dating a fireman who could escort me home every night. That seems like a better option.
