Gloomy Day
The thunderstorms held off until this afternoon, so there was no repeat of the 5 inches of rain we got yesterday, but we had dense fog this morning, followed by solid overcast. I pity those kids on their spring break.
About the only story I saw of any interest was out of Georgia and reported by the BBC: Woman wounded in US armadillo shooting
Authorities in the US state of Georgia say a woman was accidentally shot by her son-in-law as he was trying to kill an armadillo with a handgun.
Police say the bullet ricocheted off the animal’s hard armour, entered the woman’s mobile home, and hit her in the back as she sat in a reclining chair.
The 74-year-old woman was taken to the hospital where she is expected to recover, local police told US media.
The response from the local police – he should have used a shotgun for armadillo and other varmints.
I don’t understand doing anything about the animal, as they eat termites and ants. The borrows can be annoying, but their food preference is a definite plus.
