It's Raining Bullets

I originally had this concern during the 4th of July weekend. When I went outside the next day, you could see the aftermath of the night before. Suddenly an even more harrowing thought came to mind. What happens on New Years Eve at midnight? When they shoot countless rounds of ammunition into the air. It seemed like the few children in my immediate area. Spent a thousand dollars or more by themselves. It's scary when you think about it. What goes up must come down somewhere.

Most of us haven't had the opportunity to prove this theory yet. Yesterday a woman visiting the zoo. Came unexpectedly to that unpleasant realization. She was struck by a stray bullet. Can you imagine just walking around watching the Zebras, and suddenly you feel a sharp pain? You can no longer assume that you've got caught in a hail storm, or you've been stung by a bee. Now you have to make sure you haven't been shot.. This really gives gives weight to the quip by a local talk show host. "Glad you haven't been shot." A shower in Memphis no longer necessarily means with water. Depending where you are, it's raining bullets.

    The secretary at Buckeye felt the same way when a bullet came through her office window today.
