the story linked with the forlorn kitty in the window, made my day.
I should have noticed that!
The Kitty Genovese murderer just died last March 28 in prison. Never showed any remorse for it, kind of like it was a mugging and sometimes people die. Sheesh. He escaped once and committed more crimes, then was a participant in the Attica riots. His death sentence was commuted to life and life it was. 52 years in prison. Good riddance.
