That could never happen in this country (though you could be gunned down by a maniac while trying to buy a head of lettuce).

Not that it matters, but it is interesting that he is older than his wife's mother.

I, like all decent people in the world, wish for the safe and quick return of Mr. E's mother in law.

Brazil cannot with the PR game. Zika...overflowing toilets...sewage tainted water...kidnapping...Good Lord!

I do hope she is being held humanely and that she will be released without violence.
