I’ve been AWOL for a couple weeks. I spent entirely too many hours sitting in a Chicago hospital over those days. My sweet, gentle sister passed away on Tuesday evening. My other sister and I, my wife and brother-in-law, and most of her nieces and nephews were by her side as she quietly passed. Her heart, big enough to love us all so well, wasn’t strong enough to keep her alive.

Murdered was shot by police sniper using a 50cal semi auto sniper rifle…..

Sad thing is the cops tried everything to keep from killing the cop killing scumbag to include ripping the house apart around him 

Local contractors will be salvaging what the can and rebuilding the home at no cost to the homeowner

Paddy O'Brien caught a leprechaun and demanded his gold. The leprechaun replied "Ahh Paddy, I'm not so spry as I used to be. I was caught only yesterday and have no gold to give. If you'd turn me loose I'd grant you a wish."
Paddy thought about it and said "Me brother he moved to Boston and I miss him. I'm afraid to fly and I get terribly seasick. If you could build me a bridge?"
"A bridge? From here to Boston? Why the engineering marvel! No Paddy, I'm afraid that's impossible. You'll have to wish for something simpler than that."
Paddy thought a moment and said "I've never been able to understand that beautiful bundle of mystery called woman. If you could enlighten me?"
The leprechaun put his hands on his hips and looked Paddy in the eyes.
"So, will you be needing four lanes or will two do it?"
