The Red Line Crash


Today as Edon left work, 2 blocks away a semi went out of control exiting the freeway and slammed into the subway station killing 2 and wounding 19 others. The crazy thing is that we use that subway station all the time, but today Edon had the car and was driving. However, if she was planning on taking the train she would have been on the scene. Crazy.
Other Chicago news, this week 40 people were shot or stabbed on the South Side where both Edon and I work. Half have died and most were young. Kids are skipping school and the police have started to escort kids to school so they arrive safely.
I came across some blogs of my friends from Spokane and realized how lame my blog is. They have pictures of their kids, and them growing up, and I have stupid clips of Obama and milk commercials. But I must admit, blogging with kids has to be easier, and unlike Danielle I dont like my dog as much as she likes her cats. In fact I am half of the reason why Azteca is so ugly. I am so cheap I dont take her to get her hair cut, I do it. And yes is looks as good as it sounds, so not only does the color changing dog have a bad fur color she also has a hair cut to match.
So sorry I have lame blogs, but male blogging is sorta gay anyway. Happy blogging.

Derek, I was so excited that you found my blog! This is why I enjoy blogging- you can keep tabs on people without being totally intrusive! And you're right, blogging with kids is easy, because you always have something to brag (or complain) about, and since everyone and their dog has a digital camera these days, you usually have a picture to back up your story. But hey, I thought that Terrorist bit you posted was hilarious! So don't be so hard on your gay self... I mean..uh
