Dear diaryYou can just imagine why the colour red. A very sad incident took place a week ago. My mom has a very close friend in Pennington. Yesterday, I could not help overhearing the conversation between them.My mom's friend has a 84 year old father-in-law that retired as a Colonel from the Police Force. He was driving back from the Bluff and as he entered Victoria Embankment (the new name is too long to remember) he had minibus taxis with blue lights flashing him. Knowing the Colonel, he was keeping to his restricted speed and the next minute they "overtook" him in the wrong lane and a passenger was hanging out the window and shot at him. The bullet smashed his window, entered his headrest and went through the ceiling of the car. Excuse my "lingo".......luckily for the Colonel the S.O.B. was a very very bad shooter, otherwise he would not have been with us today!The Colonel went to the nearest police station to report the incident. He was so traumatised, he could not even remember the colour of the minibus or anything. As he was waiting his turn, two men walked in and demanded to know whether someone has reported a "drive-by-shooting"! Can you believe that! Luckily the Colonel kept a low profile........compared to his days in the Police Force, he knows how the "long arm of the law" operates today!Everybody in the Durban area..............beware of 3 minibus taxis with blue lights......lets save a life!Sorry that my diary session with you is so "morbid" today........but I do watch Sky News when my mommy does not watch me and I saw what very very bad things are being discussed about our country! I truly hope things will turn for the better because me as an African Grey, I am so nicely climatised in this country........mmmmm, I do not want to go back to my home country.......as you know I come from the D R C- they also have their own problems which I would not like to make mine!Ciao .............as my dad always says, "the future is not what it used to be"!
