No seriously. No where. I just forgot I had a blog, that's all. Call it pre-menopause, old age, blonde-ness. Hmmmpff. Don't know.
I didn't even THINK about my blog the last few days. I think I'm pre-senile.
Pre-alzheimerish. Yeah, that's a new word too. Just made it up.
Here's the Des Moines news the last 7 days.
A week ago a man was seen eating rocks a block from my old high school. Some kids saw him eating rocks and asked him what he was doing and he said he'd lost his meth. I'm still not sure whether he was eating the rocks hoping one was the meth rock or was eating the rocks because he was wigged out on meth. Here's the story:
Police found a man eating rocks and talking about methamphetamine while accompanied by two small children in a park near a Des Moines high school, officials said.
Students at Lincoln High School spotted Michael David Sutton, 35, of Des Moines, in nearby McRae Park around 1:30 p.m. Monday, police reports show. They told a school resource officer Sutton, who was with two children, was eating rocks and talking about meth.

The officer pulled up next to Sutton and asked what he was eating, authorities said
“Rocks,” Sutton reportedly responded.
The officer asked Sutton if he thought it was odd to be eating rocks, police reports show.
“Well, they are small rocks,” Sutton said, according to police reports.
Sutton said he was leaving, got in a car with the two boys, ages 4 and 5, and began to drive away, authorities said. The car didn’t have working brake lights and officers pulled Sutton over.
They found a meth pipe in his pocket and Sutton admitted to using meth the night before. He said he could still feel the effects.
Sutton was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of child endangerment, two counts of failing to secure a child, failure to have a valid license or insurance, operating a non-registered vehicle and having an improper rear lamp.
He remains in the Polk County Jail on a $6,119 bond.
The boys were taken to their mother.

Okay.......we can deal with that story.....then...a couple days ago, in the same neighborhood (or really close -like a few blocks) a man was shot because he was shooting at people driving by. He also shot at the police. Here's that story:
A Des Moines man armed with a semi-automatic rifle terrified a south-side neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, as he fired dozens of bullets from his yard at houses and passing vehicles before turning his weapon on police arriving on the scene.
Bullets shattered windows in vehicles, hit houses and injured a passerby. Nearby Lincoln High School was briefly locked down as police swarmed the area.
Two officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect in front of the white bungalow-style house at 1018 Creston Ave. The gunman suffered at least one bullet wound; he was transported to a local hospital. Police declined to say how the gunman was wounded.

Well, he died. He also had 60 animals living in his house. 57 birds (2 were dead), 4 cats and a python.
Do you think losing two birds made a shooter out of him?
