I always have to vote at a Christian Church. :(

My first time. In SF, I voted in a Latino community center.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

From the "Oh, snap" files...

QuoteJames Washington almost got away with murder.

The Nashville man, in prison on an unrelated sentence, made what he thought was a death bed confession when he suffered a heart attack, admitting to the murder of Joyce Goodener on July 5, 1995, according to WSMV.

Washington believed he wouldn't live to face the consequences. Turns out, he did.

Prison guard James Tomlinson relayed Washington's confession in court.

"He kind of got as best as he could, motioned, and said, 'I have something to tell you. I have to get something off my conscience and you need to hear this.' He said, 'I killed somebody. I beat her to death,'" Tomlinson told the jury.

Washington tried to take back his statement after he survived the heart attack, but it was too late. He was found guilty late last month and now faces a life sentence, the Global Dispatch reports.

Washington's confession puts him amongst the likes of Geraldine Kelly, Tor Hepso and Henry Alexander, who all confessed to killings on their death beds. These killers, however, passed on shortly after clearing their minds.

Hm, a guy from Kampala/Uganda that I've never heard of, who has only Ugandan friends and is not connected to anyone I know wants to friend me on Facebook. :hmm:

I'm gonna go with "no" on this one.

In bags?  How does that even work?

They don't have those here.  Polycoat cartons or plastic jugs.  We're not poor.

Wonder how that map was made. Would be nice to try and make such an overlay for little projects of my own.
