Not Feeling Much Like Dancing
A 91 year old woman was apparently murdered in her own home here in my little town last week. It happened just a few short blocks (about a five minute walk) from my home, very close to the park where I love to walk. The news of this incident has changed my town overnight. This is the first murder here in more than sixty years. Little information has been released about the case. There is much that isn't being said. Details are sketchy, and police are not releasing much information at this time for fear of compromising their case. What the police officials here ARE saying is that we should all be vigilant about keeping our homes secured and watching for suspicious vehicles and people in our neighborhood. We have been told to be extra cautious after dark. In a town where everyone says hello as they pass you on the sidewalk, whether they know you or not, this advice is hard to take. It feels as uncomfortable as an ill-fitting suit of clothes....
