Bagels? What Bagels? :-)

So yesterday's and today's big local news item has been the 18th homicide of the year in Vancouver City.

The 18th. And it's like November...

Back in Maryland in Prince George's County, that figure was probably achieved way back by January 18th! And right next door in Washington DC a day or two before that...

The scary part though is that a lot of these homicides have been gang related; just a week or so ago six men - of whom two just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - were found killed execution style in an appartment. God bless their souls. Generally speaking though I have still felt so much safer in the Lower Mainland than I ever felt in good ole Hyattsville. Even with unhindered daily access to the comfort of delicious, plump, yummy bagels...
