We've had a very violent summer in the Flower City, to the point where the local news last night ran an absurd story, the gist if which was that there were no violent crimes comitted Friday or Saturday, and authorities are trying to figure out why.
I sat and watched with my mouth hanging open, wondering if I was suffering from heat stroke and this was all a hallucination. But no, they were actually reporting that mysteriously, no one was murdered in Rochester over the last two days!
I thought "gee, I think I'd wait more than two days to start trumpeting a break in the violence, but then I am not an idiot and am therefore unqualified to work for a local news outlet. They're going to feel kind of silly if someone gets killed today or tomorrow".
Sure enough.
Of course the victim's name causes me to wonder if the cops are considering God a suspect. It could be that Oral couldn't come up with the 8 million they'd agreed on and God was finally getting around to "calling him home", as promised.
In related news, no snow fell in your lovely city this past weekend either.
(At least, I'm reasonably sure none fell!)...
