Oh, how dreadful

[pegkerr]

I stepped out of the house this morning into the darkness of 7:00 a.m. I could see the girls waiting for the school bus at the corner; as I watched, the bus pulled up to take them to school.

I picked up the newspaper and went back inside, where the first thing that caught my eye was this headline:

Girl, 13, choked, raped in St. Paul: The girl was attacked on her way to school Monday morning.

It happened within sight of her own house. Not my neighborhood, but . . . urgh.

Yeah. Take some comfort in your girls' strength, skills, and courage.
