More Gun Shots

Police sirens are a normal activity in Nashville, especially during morning rush hour...but today the sirens were active for a different reason. I was coming into work it was just before 8 am...police car runs red light in front of me when it was my turn to turn left...oh well, he has that priviledge. Didn't think anything else of it, until after I turned and heard more sirens. Another police car headed in the same direction, but coming from a different route. Still, I'm like...ok so it was a bad car accident or something like that nearby to me. No big deal right?

Then I'm pulling into the parking lot at work and I hear a fire engine siren and ambulance sirens getting closer...get out of the car and the air is saturated with sirens coming from nearby. Wow, something must really be going on.

Then my manager comes into work and she says that she drove by where all the cops cars were and they had the entire area around a nearby building (as in nearby to my work) taped off including the entire parking lot. They were not letting cars or other people anywhere near the building.

So then, the guys who work in the Mortgage office across the way from my desk come over and tell us that they've heard what happened...somebody got shot over in that building.

Come to find out later, it was actually two people...two women. Go figure. The "inside scoop" is that it was a wife and an ex-wife...the current wife shot the ex-wife and then shot herself. Here's the story!

The Darkness keeps getting closer and closer to my front door.

I just keep visualizing this....

Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing,
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they're certainly not showing,
Any signs that they are slowing!

for the rowers keep on rowing and they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing...great! *no sarcasm just honest realization* they just keep rowing faster and faster, racing toward wherever it's going.
