Catching Up
1> ‘The Unit’ looks like a good show.
2> So does ‘Boston Legal’.
3> That poor kid in Detroit who the 911 operator told to stop fooling around with the 911 system…
4> I really should have been watching ‘Babylon 5′ years ago.
5> Dean Koontz’es’s book ‘From the Corner of His Eye’ is a good read, nicely constructed, even though hardly anything really plotty happens until about page 600.
6> ‘My Name is Earl’ gets funnier and funnier.
7> Venus Express!
8> I love this weather.
9> The last few episodes of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ have been kickass, except I missed it both times on Space this past weekend through bad TV viewing planning. I guess I need to take a course.
10> ‘Coronation Street’ is getting kinda wacky, but that’s good. It’s a little boring when things are normal.
11> Nancy Grace is a foul human being.
12> If I was taller, I could see farther in a crowd during an emergency.

You need more URLs. Especially for the story about the 911 kid. I know *nothing* about that!

When I’m in the public library and I don’t have much time, I just type and worry about the URLs later. Thanks for the reminder.
This boy, Robert Turner,(5 then, 6 now) did all the right things the right way when his mother collapsed and he called 911. The operator thought he was pranking her, his mother died : 911 Bad.
He probably read this story and wept all over again. Six year old Hunter Bishop called 911 when her mother collapsed, but couldn’t tell the operator where she lived. He asked her to take the cordless phone into the garage and tell him her mother’s license plate number, which he then looked up and sent help. Her mother survived : 911 Good.
