I have read Winston Churchill's accounts and his indictment of Islam. I am absolutely livid when I read of the wicked senseless acts which includes the bombing of the subway in London 2005. Add to that the swines that beheaded Drummer Rigby in England. I have no brief for that Islam.

The heel of my gramma’s shoe got caught in a Sears escalator and knocked her flat, screaming.

My aunt barely got the shoe off before her foot was mangled.

The escalator ‘ate’ her shoe.

I avoid the damn things.
