By most measures, yesterday was not a good day.
First, Troy Davis was executed by the state of Georgia. Convicted of the murder of a sheriff, and no physical evidence other that eyewitness testimony which has since been largely recanted, the justice system failed him. I think it was Justice Scalia that opined that the innocent do not have a right not to be executed, only the right to a fair trial.
Second, and of lesser importance, REM announced it was breaking up after 30 years. My friend Tony Burunoff got me introduced to them about that time and I've enjoyed their music ever since.
The good to come of yesterday included getting my yellow '76 goldwing cured of her mystery ignition miss and timing reset. Once again, she purrs!
