Yes, I am taking it all personally. It is personal to me every time one person denies another a basic human right to live more easily in this difficult world.

Rumor has it that there is a 10-year-old-ish brown van wandering around town, stopping at houses where it appears no one is home. When a local resident stopped and questioned the three people in the van, they claimed to represent a new Kirby Vaccuum store opening in Jackson, then left abruptly.
