David and I were sitting here talking about spiritual philosophy and checking out some stuff online early this evening. We heard a sound, I thought that someone was throwing a lot of metal objects into the dumpster outside. I thought it was odd that someone should be doing that, but I hear all sorts of noises and this and that, all day.
Next thing cop SUV's and emergency vehicles were swarming onto the streets outside. David walked out there, talked with some people who'd seen the accident. He came back in and said there's a large sedan flipped over on it's top in the middle of the street. The driver had been driving at top speed along the narrow, winding street, he hit parked cars, and flipped his car. What can I say...a large sedan driven by a young man means gangbanger likely means drugs & weapons in the car. I don't judge anybody for being in a gang, but driving at that speed and slamming into people's cars, uh-uh. That I cannot forgive.
If the kid lived through it I sure hope he makes a major change in the course of his life. I didn't go out there, I saw a Mercedes with its roof on the street once and a car on its roof is not something I ever want to see again. The flashing lights were here for a long time. If there were passengers in the car, I don't know what. Sad, sad. I feel sorry as hell for those people whose cars were hit. If any of them have just basic insurance, they are now without a car, maybe no money to get another car.
London needed his claws trimmed and while I was clipping them he freaked out. Some cats like a manicure, some come unglued. His claws have been catching on things, so I was determined to clip them and when he started yowling and squirming I was too harsh with him. I held him tightly when I should have let him go and continued the job later. He became very upset and I was frustrated, but I finally put him down. Then he had an asthma attack and I felt absolutely awful.
Why, why did I keep holding him and trying to force him to let me cut his claws? The stress has brought on asthma episodes tonight and I feel like rubbish. I will never, never do such a thing to him again. He's still young enough that I don't entirely know his reactions yet. Now I sure do know. I am so sorry, London baby.
