Violence

I just found out today from a neighbor (and verified on our County Sheriff's site) that there was a mugging at gunpoint in our neighborhood. And it was not only in our neighborhood, it was right around our clubhouse. Those are the very roads that E and I run, walk and play around many of our weekends. Our area is generally very safe for one so close to the city, but there's nothing like a national scare and one right next door shortly after to make me want to hide in the house.

The crazy thing is, the guy held up a lady with a baby in a stroller... Because we often have vast riches when we're out for a walk? It makes me sad to think he might have stolen her wedding ring. I know she gave him a phone and iPod, and he sped off.

I want it to get better, but I'm afraid it won't.
