Woman arrested for refusing to show ID -- on a bus
Deborah Davis was arrested for refusing to show identification to a security guard who randomly demanded it of the passengers riding on a public bus in Colorado. Were the authorities over-stepping their authority?


The day after
It's raining a little -- finally. I'm hoping that the moisture will knock down some of the dust and crud in the air -- thus making it easier to breathe. (When I get out of the Valley most of my congestion magically disappears within a few hours). Unfortunately it is keeping me from cutting the back lawn and pruning the trees. Oh well. I may have to stay inside and just read a book. What a tragedy!

We did get out for a few minutes earlier to do a Costco run (picked up a couple of laptops). The holiday shopping frenzy didn't seem too intense. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes.
