This is JUST PEACHY.

Well, if any of you have been watching/listening to the news, you all know that we have a professional sniper roaming the area who shot & killed his soon-to-be ex-wife at a restaurant on Saturday night. She was on stage, singing, and he was parked out in the parking lot in his truck and he shot through the window and killed her. In Cheyenne! At a family restaurant! Here's an article that CNN has posted -- http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/17/singer.shot.ap/index.html

Here's some comments in the article about the man:

"Munis has been a member of the Wyoming Army National Guard since 2003, was previously in the U.S. Army and was a 2001 graduate of the Army Sniper School at Ft. Benning, Georgia, according to the National Guard. Apprehending a man with that kind of sniper skill and the weaponry he has available to him is an extremely dangerous type of proposition," Schulz said."

Nice. What tops the cake? He's hiding out north of Laramie, about 7 miles from town, in the wooded area known to some around here as Rogers Canyon (also known as north 9th street). Guess where I was at the potluck on Saturday? About a mile or two from this Canyon.

Lovely, people, just lovely. So, here we are with a man roaming our area who is trained to kill with the first shot. Ugh. My mom mentioned it and so did the CNN article...people like this usually end up taking their own life.

Then my coworker and I read that a man went crazy on Monday at the governor's office in Denver and was taken out by police (aka...killed).

What is going on!?!

Sounds like a fantastic time to pack some things and take a little out of town trip for a few days! Or at least don't be singing on stage anywhere for awhile. I know that will be hard for you, but just for now it might be a good idea. :) Seriously, that is a little hairy!
