Could be better, could be worse. Plenty of things to worry about close to home and far away.
One example, I just found out my one sister - whose boss of a local government agency - was assigned a cop as a temporary employee for light duties until his broken hand healed. She noticed he'd disappear for long hours during work and would give weird excuses as to why. She notified the local police chief, his boss, who had a tracker placed on his government vehicle and it was found out that, among other places, he'd go visit his girlfriend or he'd go home to get into fights with his wife.
He got fired and a criminal case is being brought against him and my sister is the key witness.
And it turns out when he was 19 he "accidentally" shot his girlfriend in the face (how do you become a cop after that?), has anger issues (he punched a car which caused the broken hand), always was "weird" in a slightly crazy way, and after being fired tried to see my sister while at work.
The local fire chief told her she should get a gun and the police chief said if she sees this guy at her home to lock all the doors and call 911.
As the older brother I'm worried about her and frustrated that I can't do anything short of sitting on her front porch with a shotgun.
So, I'm keeping my sanity in part by watching anime but I'm not really feeling like writing for my blog.
