Sobering. I am standing at the window on the ninth floor of an office building in Downtown Cleveland, looking south on East Ninth to St. John's Cathedral. I am looking at rows of police motorcycles and police cars impeccably parked. I am looking at a young woman who is now a widow. A few days ago, a 32-year old Cleveland cop was shot point blank in the face as he approached a car he had pulled over. Along with his wife, this policeman leaves three children ages five, four and two. People, wake up. Life is short. We don't know what can happen. Enjoy each other. Enjoy life. Take time to look for double rainbows.

This is too easy... I mean, you just can't make up stuff like this. This single event could generate enough material to keep Michael Moore, Adbusters, and little ol' Opensewer busy for years.

OS6: the packets have left the building. Midwest, you'll get them in about 1 day; East Coast, 2-3; West Coast, 3-4; Canada, we're lookin' at a week here. If you haven't requested a packet and want one, you'd better tell us right away...

Tomatoes. I want to throw tomatoes. Tomatoes that are old and smooshy. And I want to throw them at all the careless drivers who have no consideration for pedestrians in downtown Cleveland, and downtowns everywhere. The ones who sit there like panting dogs, waiting to turn right-on-red. The ones who salivate as they wait for that quick squeeze before the crossing pedestrians near the turn-lane. I am angry. Yesterday, a bus driver (who probably is a good person) ran over two pedestrians who clearly had the walk sign. The 40-foot-long bus dragged the women 17 feet before it stopped. See "Horror on W. 3rd". They are both in critical condition, one with a severed leg. We are impatient. We have to get there NOW! Pedestrians of the world, unite! It's time to take back our streets. Are we still in preschool? Do we need the assistance of crossing guards? We've obviously forgotten all that we learned in kindergarten...

Ah, yes. "Human" nature puts its best foot forward once again. Remember, everyone... Intelligence is what separates us from the animals.
