Bad day....for hubby and man kind!

Today has been a bad day :0( Hubby could not find his deer that he shot last night...such a bummer. He walked and walked through the thickest stuff you could imagine....for miles...and still no deer. He was SO tired when he got home...and he's no stranger to hard labor, so I knew he had been through the mill! Later this afternoon I went to Walmart while he stayed home with the kids, and he was burning trash and all of the sudden he felt like he got shot! He said it actually knocked him out of his slippers! A "D" battery had gotten thrown in the burnables!! It exploded and shot him in the leg! It burned a hole right through his pants and left and ENORMOUS welt and bruise on his leg! He said he had never been hit so hard with anything before and really thought at the time he had been shot! Poor guy! He is out hunting now...in the sleet and rain...what a trooper!
As far as a bad day for mankind...The lady I babysit for told me that there was a murder in the next town over...30 minutes away from here! We have NEVER had anything like that here! A lot of strangers are coming due to the gas wells all over the place, and the crews are rough! Not all of them I"m sure....but a lot are! That's who did the murdering...three gas well workers. I guess there were 20 state troopers there! That's a record for out here in the middle of nowhere! This is hearsay...it's not been in the news that I have heard...but I don't watch the news either, so who knows. My daughter has been stopped by gas well workers three times while on a walk to see if they could give her a "ride"! What is that!!! We are not even safe here anymore! Our area is like this....NOBODY locks their house, takes the keys out of their car...even at Walmart...you could leave your purse in the front seat and know it would be safe...we all know each other and people are honest and good (for the most part)...we had a lady move here from California and she said it was like going back in time 20 yrs.! Now it's all changed. I'm sad. Also, a 16 year old girl was raped in a near by town. What is happening out there? Are we safe anymore? It's a sad day!
