Fine, but some people don't have the opportunity to be picky about where they work.

And one can tread carefully through the hazards and discover quite a few pleasures. That is why big cities continue to exist. The Disney animated movie Oliver & Company illustrates this concept well. It's an adaptation of Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist.

That is an odd way of putting it. I think most people could figure out that someone who is fatally shot would lose control of just about everything.

In the 1970s the Soviet union started to allow freer Western tourism. I read about a man who died suddenly in the USSR (I forget the cause). The government charged him posthumously with violating the terms of his visa; and the real point was that his family had to fork over a lot of money to get the issue cleared up and bring his body back.

I used to drive through that area frequently. Bissonnet got on my list of places not to go quite a while back.

A motorist driving in the 10700 block of Bissonnet was fatally shot on Friday. His vehicle subsequently struck a tree and flipped over.

The shooting is thought to have resulted from an earlier altercation, but police have not identified a suspect.

This area is not bad, not great; but it is close to a really scummy area east of the beltway on Bissonnet.
