sunny sunday

Unseasonably warm here in the Metroplex this sunny Sunday, waiting for the winter shoe to drop. Meanwhile, the DMN covers a story in Arlington today that hits your mixed race editor hard; glad to see Silk Littlejohn trying to make peace in the wake of an attempt to terrorize her, sorry to see racism still so entrenched:

Two weeks ago, Silk Littlejohn was a victim – battered with a two-by-four plank by an angry, white neighbor who also flung racial slurs, she said. On Saturday, the black woman tried to be a healer and a teacher. Several hundred people, led by many ministers, gathered at a historic park for public prayer and a march to Ms. Littlejohn's home to cover her garage doors with royal blue tarps. A few days after the Dec. 19 assault, Ms. Littlejohn and her fiancé, Broderick Gamble, found the words "KILL" and "DIE [N-word]" spray-painted on the doors in red.
