"Black and White"...squad cars...

This book, "Black and White", is one terrific read! Written by Wes Albers, a Sgt/Detective in San Diego from the point of view of a San Diego street cop, John Hatch, I cannot say a bad word about it. I was fascinated from beginning to end.

If ever you've wondered what being a policeman, driving around San Diego on his/her beat is like, you'll soon find out in "Black and White". Wes has been there and, believe me, he hasn't forgotten a damned thing.

I cannot tell you the added respect I have for those guys. More, I cannot tell you how much I would not want to be doing their job. Don't hesitate to grab this book the first time you get a chance. Or order from Amazon. No matter where you get it, GET IT!

Obituaries and Santorum...

Right on the top, a couple of things to say: Rick Santorum does NOT have "blue collar roots". Check him out.

And secondly, here's a shocker. At least it was to us. Our eldest daughter passed away from a 2nd brain tumor that attached to her brainstem two years ago. So next thing was to write an obit and post it in the newspapers.

Holy Toledo! If ever you want a shock, just look up the prices the papers charge to do that! I do believe those obituaries earn a huge income..maybe that matches the subscription readers pay for delivery.

Add to that, my 2nd son also died a month after our daughter. His older brother, who did his obituary, spent $10,000 on the obit and burial.

So check the price your newspaper charges and start saving your money.
