Good morning.
- Well, there’s an (unintended) argument for drone use.
- A maths trick in narrative form.
- About that pope fella.
- Cinema: Pacific Rim and a litmus test.
- Detroit, one in 100? The first penguin to test the waters for whales and seals?
- Scrubbed from Mr Obama’s past by a friendly press perhaps?
- Climate, crises and costs. Compare/constrast with this (and don’t ask if the climate change is just the el Nino/Nina cycle).
- Ah … a last line, I still think Mr Wilde’s was better (“on his deathbed reputedly he said, “Either that wallpaper goes or I go … and died.”)
- Manners and (just as importantly) … some interesting words I didn’t know. So now your task for the week is to use “blatteroon” in a sentence.
- Hmmm, I hit #1 and #4. Re #1 without the “droopy oversized” that’s regular summer wear for me and I no longer own any blue jeans having replaced them all with #4, which is all about the pockets (and not having to sit on my wallet).

“Scrubbed from Obama’s past.”
So you support creepy people who stalk children with guns?
If a man attacked your minor son in your neighborhood, what would you expect your son to do?
If I may…
Did you read the link? “I could’ve been Trayvon Martin” implies “if I’d been pounding a guy’s head against a pavement.”
The 911 call makes it abundantly clear that Zimmerman followed him (and some instructions from the dispatcher see to be asking him to find out where Martin is), but when the dispatcher says he doesn’t need to do that, Zimmerman says OK and the conversation after that heavily implies he’s going back to his truck to meet up with police.
There is no way that the evidence suggests that Zimmerman “attacked” anyone. He did some ill-advised and some stupid things, to be sure. But attack? No.
Ed,
Did you know that Mr Z after giving his story was told by the detective that his actions were caught on camera? His (Mr Z’s) reaction was relief. That doesn’t sound like an attacker to me. Why does it to you?
