I am re-posting this bit, because I fell in love with the buckaroo song that I have posted at the end.I remember my kid telling me that I could teach her to drive,just as long as she didnt have to swear half as much.Anyhoo.

Raymonds two and three. Monday, December 05, 2005



Please pray for little Raymond Libby the third.The 10 year old was accidentally killed this past Saturday by Raymond Libby the second.The two were hunting in Ware,MA when the father fell, his rifle knocking against a tree trunk and discharging.The boy stood, until his scrambling father reached him, and then he collapsed.His last word was "Yes" when asked if he were hit.He died in his father's arms as the man raced back towards the road for help.
His Father,Mother, Sister and school chums are left to grieve, as well as us sympathetic newspaper readers.This tragic tale of the brittle,brutal indiscriminations of destiny that was captured on penny-newsprint and bounced off the dirt of my driveway as some indiscrimination in itself, as I do not subscribe to the Republican, has had me weeping into my coffee for the misery of Raymond the second in particular.How the hell would one go on.One does.But I would suspect one would never ever sit right in their own bones again.
There was a tiny picture of a smiling Raymond the third that accompanied the article.A colour school picture by the looks of it...a bright little face, an articulate grin, not of a mischief-bearing essence..but more of a stoic father-loving kind...as the paper stated, the boy waited for his father every Saturday after work since age 4 to go out gaming with him.Perhaps they should've adopted a less fatally natured hobby to enjoy together.Raymond the second was quoted tearfully that the boy would carry a bb gun in the crook of his arm,as the father carried the rifle and would walk several paces behind him..a mock Raymond the second thus lived in the third.Be careful, I guess is what I have to say when your little ones choose their emulations.
Guns don't kill people,.. people kill people..but this time I think the gun helped..a lot...and when a little boy falls in the woods...everyone hears it.Cause people write it down and lob the miseries to eachother in the form of penny newsprint.
God bless Raymonds two and three,peace has found one and God knows he'd share it with the other.

(The video and story have nothing to do with eachother beyond the obvious sentiment.)
