    Absolutely. It was the first woman who went along with a sign saying "I forgive you" to hold up if the guy said sorry - but he didn't and then she lamented that the death was peaceful and painless and he deserved to suffer more. I doubt very much she found closure from witnessing her assailant's death. But the thing that really seemed odd was the cheers when they said that Texas has executed more people than any other state - how is that cause for celebration?

      Right, that's enough.

      Enjoy the long weekend.

      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        I can still remember how to use WordStar, mainly because I used it as a programming editor for a couple of years. I've completely forgotten everything about SuperCalc and dBase
        I used WS as a programmer's editor too.

        I've even got a copy of the last PC version for some reason.

        It was hideous.

        Worst £100 I've spent, apart from the £100 on the non working DVM off ebay.

        Discovered that the floppies for my bootleg copy of dBase II were corrupt.

        Which was a relief.

        Never used Supercalc.

          No doubt this one will involve the Afan Valley and The Bwlch again.

          I may even venture over the top into the Rhondda if I'm brave enough to figure out how to get through Treorchy and up over the Rigos mountain.

          It was.

          We ventured down to Treorchy & up over the Rhigos mountain.

          Stopped in the sheepless* viewpoint and had an icecream.

          Quite enjoyed it, all in all.

          *There seem to be very few sheep roaming free up there at the moment. Odd.

              I haven't started mine.



              I bought some seeds though.

                Gosh.

                Another busy evening in TPD.



                And I've managed to watch Castle, Grimm, and tonight's NCIS.

                Om.




                Nighty night all.
