more insecurity

This is a well detailed and well thought out piece on National Insecurity.

I highly recommend it.

I had to pick up my jaw from the floor when I first heard about this on a short local radio news bit.

Pima County is paying for water for illegal immigrants.

I know that it doesn't encourage people to cross the border illegally. If anything, a few might actually get to their destination instead of dying in the desert.

I read a few months ago that the county morgue had to get extra storage for unidentified illegals. It takes time to go through the Mexican consulate to try and help identify them.

So when they report that this year there were fewer deaths in the desert than last year, it looks good for the county, right?

But I don't like the concept of assisting a crime. Illegal crossers ARE breaking the law. It's as if we're providing a gun to someone that wants to rob a bank.

The Border Patrol just needs to deploy agents to these water stations and arrest them as they use our tax payer funded water.

I'm tempted to somehow tamper the containers. But that would cost me more money since the county is insistent in providing the water.

Go to your room!

Ever since I brought the kitties home, Magnum's been a big pain in the ass sourpuss. Every time he saw Adira, he'd start hissing and growling. Sometimes it escalted to a real fight.

I'm desperate. I read this article last week about a dog whisperer and the trick that helped calm their dog. What the heck, maybe it'll work on my kitties.

Strange as it is, it seems to work. Magnum would calm down, and relax. Adira has been seeking refuge in the kennel which is in view of Magnum.

The biggest problem is that I can't work on this behavior modification technique when I'm not home.

*sigh* Adira is going to be a problem when I move into my folks house.

"Yes mother, my cats are never on the counter. They're good about that."

This morning, as I make my path to the coffee pot. Much to my suprise, the glass blender was on the floor. It's supposed to be on top of the refrigerator.

Three things struck me at that moment:

1.) Dang, the glass blender didn't break. This was a great investment.

2.) I slept through this incident. I really can miss the start of WWIII.

3.) Adira's using the counter to get on the fridge. This will not go over well with my folks.

Boyfriend also brought up the fact that she can't get used to sitting and sleeping on my dining room table. I'll put stuff on her half of the table and we'll start with that. I think she enjoys being a handful.
