All in all a long ass week...and a bad end of the weekend...

Been off the net for a bit.  Worked close to doubles from Tuesday on, overtime on Monday and spent most of my day off (Saturday) speaking to three technicians in India on a computer problem.  TeamViewer is so cool..  It allows the geek to see my computer on his screen and contol it.  I cannot conceive of going though all the problems with my system with the tech telling me and him dealing with a dumb ass like me “where’s the any key?”.  I looked at Beth, covered the phone and told her "Sulu has the con." She laughed her ass off. And the techs were very patient and good.  

Been trying to catch up on my “What’s going on in the world today” updates but again this week has been crazy.

Did see the good, the bad and the ugly a few days ago.

THE GOOD:

The street gang member who fatally shot a San Antonio Police sergeant and his wife after he "just went crazy" was executed tonight in Texas.

Frank Garcia, 39, was given a lethal injection and pronounced dead at 7:02 p.m. Central time, reports the Houston Chronicle. Before expiring, he yelled "Hallelujah" and shouted, "Thank you for this miracle you are performing in my life. My God is holy, holy, holy. Hallelujah!"

Garcia was sentenced to death for the March 29, 2001 murders. Garcia shot Sgt. Hector Garza, 48, in the head, he later told investigators, because he knew the officer would be wearing a ballistic vest.

Garcia had earlier killed his wife, Jessica, who had planned to leave him. He shot his wife three times in the head. Garcia, a member of the Angels of Sin gang, used a machine pistol in the attacks, reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Rest in piss you waste. I hope God has mercy on your soul, I really do. Just know you cannot fool Him.

THE BAD:

Minn. Cop Killer Granted Parole October 27, 2011

The Minnesota Department of Corrections has approved parole for a prisoner convicted of murdering a police officer.

Timothy Eling, 63, was notified this week that his life sentence for the 1982 killing of Oakdale police officer Richard Walton has ended after 29 years, reports The Star-Tribune.

Eling killed Walton during a gun battle inside the pharmacy in St. Paul. Walton, a father of five children, was off duty and moonlighting as a security guard when, responding to a burglary call, he stepped out from an elevator and was shot in the head.

"As you've repeatedly stated, you realized many years ago the devastating impact your crime has had on your victim, [his] family, friends, the law enforcement community and your own family,'' Corrections Commissioner Tom Roy wrote in a letter notifying Eling of his decision. "Your rejection of criminality and pursuit of positive activities ... has been your testament to your victims.''

Here is the officer he murdered and the details of the incident. RIP Bro...at least he won’t be joining you after his last judgement. I think he gets a worse place.

AND THE UGLY:

Video: Drunk Woman Arrested In G-string After 128-mph Chase October 27, 2011



A northern Ohio woman who led Bainbridge Township police on a high-speed chase that reached 128 mph was eventually arrested wearing only a G-string, fishnet tube top and tennis shoes.

At 3:54 a.m. on Oct. 11, 28-year-old Erin Holdsworth was clocked at 110 mph heading east on Route 422, reports The News-Herald.

A Geauga County Sheriff's deputy was able to successfully deploy stop sticks to deflate Holdsworth's tires and end the pursuit. After she was placed in the rear of a Bainbridge cruiser, Holdsworth yelled at officers and kicked the partition.

Sunday was finished up with a miserable Saints game and a neighbor’s house getting broken into. At least a good whiskey and cigar made it bearable.

Hope you had a better week and weekend than I did. Here is to a great week ahead.
