Investigators say the victim arrived at the business and got into an altercation with another man. Police say the victim pointed a handgun at the other man, and the man then shot the victim.
Police say the shooter drove himself to the Mobile Police 2nd Precinct to turn himself in and was detained for questioning. No arrest has been made at this time.
The case has been turned over to the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office for review, and police said no additional information will be released right now.
Sunny left us yesterday after a short battle with a very aggressive T-Cell Lymphoma. She had just turned 3. We adopted her as a puppy when she was released to a shelter with bowed legs that made her "unwanted" in some's eyes.
A Vet from Indy, where Barkley got his care for years, had moved to the Chicago area as her husband got a position with a big hospital here as a doctor. She took care of Lorelei and Abby Lab at home at the end for us and did the same for Sunny. In a moment that reminded me that even with this pain, God's watching over me - she told me her husband's new job is at one of the biggest hospitals in Chicago, one known world-wide for it's transplant services.
He's on my Transplant team.

Words from my husband:
"Back when we hadn't had her very long, I was just getting her past the overstimulation phase so I could walk her all the way to the tracks and back. On one of these trips, I ran across a neighbor from the next block. He and I had spoken before when Lorelei was still happily begging for pets up and down the street. He liked dogs; he used to have great Danes, and he had fitted his little shoebox SUV with a bulldog hood ornament from a Mack truck.
That day he was walking with his wife. They stopped and waited patiently for Sunny to go through the cautious sniffing phase. After a few minutes Sunny decided they were her new best friends and was happily getting pets and doing little jumps when she wanted more attention. The wife was particularly enthralled with Sunny and praised her, saying she loved how, "She looks you right in the eye!" After more pets and wags we went on our way.
You wouldn't notice it from a distance, but if you watched carefully, you could tell the lady was a bit frail. It was several months later when I saw them both again. They were going up the steps to their bungalow and she was leaning heavily on her husband. They apologized for not being able to stop and pet Sunny, but I told them Sunny was just happy to see her friends and she wagged and gave a little woof.
Back in the spring I bumped into the husband on the street. He stopped me to let me know that his wife had passed. He didn't say what the illness was, but it had been a long journey. He said that she had her favorite comfortable chair next to the front window of the house and that she would always smile and remark when she saw Sunny on the street. It was always a moment of happiness for her.
That's how I would like to remember Sunny the most. The dog who always brought a smile to a neighbor's face in her dying days."
It happened on the 6000 block of Warnock Street in the city's Fern Rock section around midnight.
Police say the 45-year-old victim was shot in the backside.
He is in stable condition.
Police continue to talk to the man who pulled the trigger, who says he did it in self-defense.
HPD said the shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. The department said that a fight occurred between Blood and another man, who fired his gun. The man who fired the gun remained on scene.
Police determined the person had fired in self-defense, striking Blood.

The victims say Penn claimed he had served time for murder and was not afraid of law enforcement.
The next morning, they say Penn forced his way into their apartment.
At that point, the boyfriend shot Penn.
I heard my first pro-1 ad on the radio this morning. Woman talks about how happy she and her husband were to be pregnant. Then her doctor told her that the baby was very sick and he would have her call a doctor in Utah because he could not even suggest a medically necessary abortion.
This is grossly deceptive, unless they recorded it two years ago. Idaho Code sec. 18-622 prohibits abortion with a few exceptions:
(i) The physician determined, in his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, that the abortion was necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman. No abortion shall be deemed necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman because the physician believes that the woman may or will take action to harm herself; and
(ii) The physician performed or attempted to perform the abortion in the manner that, in his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, provided the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive, unless, in his good faith medical judgment, termination of the pregnancy in that manner would have posed a greater risk of the death of the pregnant woman. No such greater risk shall be deemed to exist because the physician believes that the woman may or will take action to harm herself; or
The next section exempts abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest: if "the woman has reported to a law enforcement agency that she is the victim of an act of rape or incest and provided a copy of such report to the physician who is to perform the abortion."
Notice that a doctor makes this decision based on "his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time." Proving that a doctor was operating in bad faith would be quite an obstacle to overcome at trial. I think you would need a statement by the doctor (orally or in writing) that an abortion under these circumstances was a bad idea.
Tony Fauci, a guy who five years ago was a demigod, the toast of society, the unfettered expert of medical science and immunology, has decided to clam up. he invoked his 5th Amendment privilege 111 times today, to include such things as which day of the week it is and the color of his necktie.
Today's hearing seems to have established that Little Tony is nothing more than a narcissistic megalomaniac whose only motivation was fame, fortune and personal glory.
What an insufferable prick.

Continue reading →Midwest Chick (you do read her every day, don't you? Thought so.) posts about how a Professor was smarter than most of his students, catching most of them using AI to cheat on an assignment:
A very clever professor in Mississippi decided to test and see if his students were cheating using AI. So he put some code in his exam instructions using white font that couldn’t be seen by the students, but could be seen by an AI if a copy/paste was used.
Click through for the details (which are hilarious) but even more so for the comments her readers left. My favorite was one from Carl Bussjaeger:
Oh, yes. I should probably mention DuckDuckGo’s AI. When called out on all of its hallucinations, it informed that if I don’t want it to make s–t up when asking strictly factual questions, I have to specifically TELL it not to make s–t up.
Sure you can trust AI. Just tell it not to make s**t up ...
By Dave Workman Embattled Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday announced her plan to combat violent crime plaguing the city in response to the deadly shooting at the Seattle Center’s “Bite of Seattle” event Sunday, and with all of the rhetoric boiled out, it amounts to pursuing more gun control.

"Police report the outside temperature at that time was around 98-degrees. Responding officers made contact with the caller, and inspected the truck. One officer could hear heavy panting from within the back of the moving truck and determined the conditions were too dangerous, ultimately deciding to force open the back of the truck."
Moving is hard. But is there anyone that does not get the hazard of this to an animal?

In yesterday's post, I talked about my AC units being mounted high in the wall. Robert asked why they are mounted so high? That was a design choice. I wanted them higher than a person's head, so that no one would knock their noggin walking down the side of the building. Those units are also high enough off the ground to avoid vehicle or mower impacts. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt when we have to change out a unit, but the rest of the time, they are basically out of harm's way.

Author’s Introductory Note: Please remember all of my writings are a Gedankenexperiment, not a form of advice, but an extended thought experiment. I can safely conclude that the Republic has likely fallen just before its 250th Birthday. My ancestors were founders of the original Republic and I am one of the small percentage of Heritage Americans left with 97.5 percent of people who reside in the United States having no original colonial Patriot blood flowing in their veins.
