Collected Thoughts

A lot of you probably know that here in Florida there is a 13 yr old girl in DCF custody who is pregnant and wants an abortion. DCF has claimed that they can't allow any one in their custody to terminate a pregnancy or have a sterilization procedure. They also said that she's too young to determine what the best course of action is for herself.

A judge has ruled and the girl will be allowed to have an abortion. DCF won't appeal. JEB isn't getting involved.

Today's paper ran a scathing editorial by Carl Hiassan Read it here . If it asks for an email and password use nomail@juno.com and bugmenot.

Terry Randall got invovled, wrote an "open letter" to JEB that was published in several places. He invoved Terri Schiavo's name. And spelled it wrong. How much time did he spend using her for his own purpose and he can't remember that there's no y in her name?

Of course I can just see the insane Religous Right going after this "activist judge".

I just had the most amazing experience -- I looked out the sliding glass door and saw fireflies -- a bunch of them and finally I went outside.

As much as I want to move, living out here, with the acrage and the woods and lack of light it makes magic. Hundreds of fireflies all through the back, into the woods, flashing and twinkling like a bath full of glitter. It's just so amazing. I don't remember it being like this when I was a kid, but by the time we moved out here I was bit past the age to chase fireflies. Or I wasn't allowed to stay up this late.

But it's beautiful and I wish I could show you all. I can understand why people believe in fairies.
