The Perfect Crime?

An episode of Deadly Women did a story of a lady who shot two of her husbands in bed. Both times, she claimed that she heard a noise downstairs, went to get the gun that was under her husband's pillow, and it accidentally went off. She got away with it the first time and I started to wonder how plausible that would be as an alibi for murder. There are so many "gun nuts" in this country, many of them rich as hell. I hate guns and any evidence I can find to put more restrictions on how to get them is a good thing.

Looking it up online, the most popular gun in the US is the Glock 19. Glock claims that the 19 has three safety features in the trigger, the firing pin, and a drop safety (meaning it will not fire if dropped). It would be easy to forget the firing pin safety and you would not have to drop it. The only problem would be the trigger which would take some extra pull. The Glock trigger needs 5.5 to 6.5 lbs of force normally but it can be modded to 4 lbs.

If the culprit used an older gun without decent safety features or one that was not well maintained, it could work. The only problem is finding a gun nut who cares less about his guns. If one could pull it off, would it be the perfect crime?

Maybe...

Snips and Snails and Puppy-dog Tails

It is uncanny how much this dog looks like Zombie

I probably cut over three pounds of fur off of Zombie today. It went a lot better than it normally does but I still had to stop several times since the blade got hot. I need another razor. Yes, I cut Zombie's hair myself and no I do not know how to do it. I just give him a stereotypical kennel cut/shave. It always ends up looking terrible but I do not care. His stench and skin problems are much easier to manage with less hair and he does not slide around much on the wooden floors downstairs. I still have to do the hair on his paws but that will take scissors and patience. He needs a bath soon.

Today was Mikey's last day off. He goes in tomorrow for a long Friday and then has the weekend to recuperate. With Halloween on Saturday, I do not know how much rest we will get. I honestly just want to put the bowl outside on the porch and tell kids to take one/some. My friend Kara is having a Halloween party and I want to get there early so I have an excuse to pass out two hours later. We do not have costumes this year. When you are a geek and an adult, Halloween can be every day. Nothing stops us from putting on a costume after work and spending the evening eating an entire bag of candy.

It's Fun to Stay at The Y...of... MD?

Mikey and I joined The Y of Central MD. It was cheaper for both of us to join and they have a pool. If anything is going to motivate me to start exercising, it is swimming. They have a cycling room, full gym, gymnasium, and rock wall. Now I just have to get there every day and sticking to a strict diet. I am not supposed to lose weight fast but I need to. None of my winter clothes fit and my weight is out of control.

Food has such a hold on me and I cannot think of anything else I would want to reward myself with. We do not have the money for me to shop and buy new things, especially now that we have this monthly membership and had to go back to Comcast for internet. Let's Plays used to be my outlet but OBS does not work on my computer. I can use Mikey's but that is only when he is not home. I am always busy until evening. If I wait until the evening to do something, I am too tired to do it. Just thinking about it is frustrating.

I felt wicked sick yesterday afternoon and last night like I had the flu, muscle aches, tired as anything, chills and overheating without sweating, but no fever. If anything my temperature was low. I had some homemade ramen and felt loads better but had to go to bed a little early. I feel okay this morning. It was probably due to stress. I am overwhelmed with dates and things I have to do. Everything piles up fast. Mikey will be home for three days so he can help with the chores. I will try to put off things that Mikey can do starting tomorrow.
