Turkey Conducts Bird Flu Investigation - Yahoo! News

We’ll blame this one on exhaustion- I saw this headline and for a moment thought that a turkey was conducting a bird flu investigation. The image: A turkey in a lab coat looking into a microscope at bird flu germies. Does it make sense? No, of course not.

It’s the weariness talking, I say!

Murder Close to Home

The Charleston Gazette - News

This is just all too sad for words.

There’s this article, from the Gazette.

An exerpt:
Two months ago, a Charleston woman got a domestic violence protective order against her husband, the man whom police said strangled her to death over the weekend.

Clarence “Trey” Morton Ilderton III, 34, was ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings twice a week and temporarily move out of the couple’s McGovran Road apartment, according to police and a domestic violence protective order she filed on Aug. 18.

Robin Renee Ilderton, 35, was found dead at the couple’s South Hills apartment on Monday. Her husband was not supposed to return to the apartment until February.

The murdered woman, Robin Ilderton, lived approximately one minute from my house. That’s scary-close to home. And their small child was home when the murder took place.

There’s a page of statistics on Intimate Partner Violence (”IPV”) here. I find it all alarming and horrible.

I gather from what I’ve read about this guy, Trey Ilderton, that he’s got some mental health issues. no excuse, of course, but it makes it scarier to me.

Sadness…
