I'm not sure how they thought this was going to work out, but "a mother who mailed drugs to her incarcerated daughter is now an inmate in the same Florida jail."  I don't know, is it at the least a 'two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right," sorta story?   news

'ELLA NEWS

Biggest Coachella news I think so far: Guns N' Roses.   "The band played a 2 1/2-hour set of its biggest hits and deep cuts . . ."    Critics say they came, they played, they kicked butt'ola.   I vote GNR relevant in rock history.  They have their sound, made their mark, and all that.   Side note:  I read a while back some of guitarist Duff McKagan's book 'How to Be a Man: (and other illusions).'   I'm a sucker for a good "I'm clean now, love my family, and life is a beautiful thing" story.     news

Principle in the type:  "I think that one may contribute (ever so slightly) to the beauty of things by making one's own life and environment beautiful, as far as one's power reaches.  This includes moral beauty."        Robinson Jeffers

"Maya Donnelly awoke to what sounded like thunder in the early morning hours, but dismissed it as a typical monsoon storm and went back to sleep."   Later she found the about 26 pound package (probably from a smuggler's plane) of marijuana that had fallen from the sky and through the carport of her house.    (I hate it when that happens.)   news                

Principle in the type:  "It is in the home that we form our attitudes, our deeply held beliefs. It is in the home that hope is fostered or destroyed. Our homes are to be more than sanctuaries, they should also be places ... where the storm stops at the door, where love reigns and peace dwells.”                 Thomas S. Monson
