Brain Gas Emissions (aka brain farts)

Where do I even start?  So much to rant about and so little time.  You all keep coming back to read my un-politically correct points of view that are bare and brutal.  You would not want me any other way.  If you want meaningless fluff watch and read mainstream news. 

Wait.  I should not bash all mainstream news outlets and journalists.  There are those journalists out there really trying to dig deep to get the real story without personal bias.  The problem?  WE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEM.  See, we all want the National Enquirer tabloid news.  We don't know the difference anymore between real, investigative journalism and tabloid gossip trash.  Yes, the two do mesh at times but for the most part what really ends up mattering does not have attention grabbing headlines.  It will be a boring story with lots of THINKING to connect the dots.  We are too stupid and lazy as a nation to deal with hard analytical thinking.  We are all too busy jumping from one electronic gadget to the next tapping on click bait to find out "5 easy ways to financial freedom" or some other un-vetted rubbish.

Speaking about jumping from one thing to another...here I go.

We went out to dinner last night at a very popular restaurant.  The seating is a little tight so you end up chatting with the next table due to the close approximation.  The woman was from Yountville and I'm not sure where her man companion was from.  We got on the subject of the recent murder of three women at a veteran facility as it was right near where she lived.  Well, she heard from a friend of a friend's hairdresser (they know ALL) that the murderer had an infatuation with one of the women killed and she rejected his advances.  He was getting creepy and that's why he was kicked out.

The most violent place to be these days is at work or school.  It makes Oakland look like a peaceful paradise in comparison.  Add that some nutty stalker wants to kill you makes it even more uncomfortable.  Most women who are murdered are by killed by an ex or a guy they rejected.  O.J. Simpson (cough, cough).
