A Little of This; A Little of That

Recently I've been watching a show called S.W.A.T. (not the long ago t.v. series) and saw how the "negotiators" interacted with those barricaded with or without hostages.

I realize they only show bits and pieces of what's really going on and what's really being said yet, from what they show it's just textbook training, not life. If they talked to me when I was suicidal I'd have killed myself ~ as many of them do. Why? They show no compassion for what's going on with the ~ ...

Today has been a fascinating day. Well, yesterday and today have actually ~ except I can't remember yesterday.

Last night I was watching a show on HULU. It was 9:30 and I was falling asleep so, I turned it off. Couldn't sleep. Got up, went to the computer, got some work done.
