It Was 20 Years Ago Today . . .


. . . that Baby Jessica was rescued from a well in Midland. If I remember correctly, it was a Friday evening. Anyway, she was on the Today Show this morning.

Edit: Sheesh. I could have sworn they said 20 years ago today. I TIVO'd so I'll watch it when I get home, but I guess I'm wrong. Maybe I was groggy.

No, no, no, Barry. You just got confused because you were listening to your old lp collection while you were watching this. It was 20 years ago today that Sergeant Pepper Taught The Band To Play.

See?

I recall being at a Decatur football game when the announcement was made that she had been successfully removed from the well. Play stopped for a good 5 minutes or more while the crowds on both sides of the stadium cheered.

In order, we get most upset when the following die, go missing, or are otherwise in peril:

1. Animals, especially mammals with round eyes and furs. (It's just fine to catch and kill millions of tuna, but darn it there better not be any dolphins in there)
2. White people
3. "Victims", white, such as druggies, pregnant moms five times over by different dads and others who have made dozens of bad choices but are excused due to society's myriad of reasons a person need not be responsible for their own lives.
4. The earth, environment, trees, layers of sediment and other things that may or may not be alive but nonetheless need saving or protection.
5. Blacks, hispanics, other non-whites
6. Fetuses, any race

Nice to know she is well! Yes, it was a very newsworthy event. Folks on here who are mouthy ought not speak. Jessica's rescue was nationwide Christianity in action! Bless her heart and her family's!

It might be fun for some to make fun and light of her now, but when this was going on, some people could not sleep much. The worry factor pulled a toll on many, and young parents with babies and young children were so troubled they had trouble functioning, because it was constantly on their minds. This is still the same "Baby Jessica" that was rescued from that hole in the ground. Just because she looks different, and I am sure the bad comments are from RIGHTWINGERS, because they are just mean and sorry by nature, everyone should thank God Almighty that she was spared and that Texas Oil Drilling KnowHow by probably mostly Republican Oilmen was able to get her out. Everyone was able to rest a lot easier when she was finally saved from an almost certain death. Bravo! to Texans, Oilmen of all politcal parties, and know-how oilfield technology. We live In TEXAS!!!!!! We have it all.

If it had been up to Al Gore, the combustion engine would be outlawed and therefore there would be no need for big oil, therefore big oil would not have been around to pull her out. I love the liberal mindset.

The hair dresser did a good job hiding the forehead scar, watched that for 5 hours that night. Barry and I were dragging Halsell Street right after that and ended up at Wise County Park with "mucho Coors Light." Barry who was the hot tanned chick with Greg $ Chris that night in the Jeep???
