Food for thought

My poor little city is topping the charts and making a name as the murder capital of Canada. This weekend was the 37th in a population of under 700,000.

For every "successful" murder (for lack of a better word when I'm posting this at 4 a.m.) there are many more "unsuccessful" attempts. That's a whole lotta trauma for this country girl to deal with. Not that I'm complaining; I'm getting very proficient at dressing wounds.

Sounds like you're ready to come down to Oakland!

Wow, that's not a good record for your city to have! Since I've never run in a city I've never had such wounds to dress. All of my murders have been successful murder/suicides where all we do is pronounce. :/

Interesting stat! Does it really say that much about your city though? I lived in a so-called murder capital and never felt unsafe. chinese astrology calendar
