I Need a Vacation...
It is extremely hot and muggy.
After our drenching rain last night, we got pretty close to 100 degrees today.
We're expecting to hit the century mark sometime this week.
With the uncomfortable temperatures folks' tempers start to flare up.
Things got a little heated next door late this evening.
I didn't actually see what was going on but I sure could hear it.
Since I am partially deaf, you can imagine the racket that was going on.
It sounded like the female was getting pounded into a car.
Oklahoma's domestic abuse statistics are not very pretty...
With violence occurring in 1 out of every 6 intimate partner relationships.
What's staggering are the high school statistics concerning violence between boyfriends and girlfriends.
Dang.
They're starting young these days.
Yes...
I called the police.
I just couldn't stand hearing her scream "NO! NO! NO!".

"...The rate of dating violence for Oklahoma ninth graders is more than three times the national average, at a rate of 26 percent for Oklahoma freshman, compared to 8 percent nationwide."

I'm so sorry TJ. I'm glad they have a neighbor not willing to turn away though.
The heat here is unbearable.

Why some folk put up with domestic violence is beyond me, then again, I am lucky enough not to have suffered it.
Hey Wolfbaby...
I hadn't thought about a 'violent weather' connection. hmmm...
Hey Sue...
I don't mind heat so much really, but when it is this humid it can get really miserable.
You can feel the moisture evaporating from the ground.
Like steam.

Oh my....I hate hearing about domestic fights. I remember my first apartment. I was 22, and the people across the hall would fight constantly. One night, I heard the same thing "NO, No, No"...followed by smacking sounds and screams. You bet I called the police. But, for what good it did...they were together the next day like nothing had happened. It saddened my heart.
100 degrees? Oh my...I am melting just thinking about that! :0 Stay cool....
Hey Pattie...
Domestic difficulties are probably the worst confrontations there are.
I can't stand them.
