Bad news and good news day....

Bad news-- one of my nieces was killed yesterday. A drunk driver, going 80 mph,
ran onto the sidewalk and struck her as she was walking down the street. She
had just turned 18 a couple of months ago. Her mother and two of her siblings
flew out to Arizona to take care of matters there. My mother called and told me
this morning.

Good news-- my creep of a little brother (the one in Iraq) finally got around
to calling my mother and letting her know that he's really OK. Running over the
land mine "just shook him up a little".... He also said he had gotten the
package I sent, but didn't comment as to whether or not the contents were
anything he needed/wanted/wanted more of.... The only thing he did say he would
like are clothes and small toys for the local children. Nice that he's so
unselfish, but he's still a creep for not communicating with our mother, at
least, in a more timely manner.
