Remember the original old Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie?

It was good back in the day, but watching it now it seems a little cheesy I guess. Considering the budget and when it was made (1974 ish) it could almost be considered a classic.

Lots of rumors swirled around the movie. Whether it was true or if parts of it were at least based on real events.

Anyway there was a strange new story in the news about a Texas man who took a chainsaw to his friend of 20 years. They apparently lived in the same house and the guy was trying to do away with his friend by cutting him up with a chainsaw.

The first thing that came to mind is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. Not that it had anything to do with the movie after all these years, but it is not something you hear about very often. And, being it happened in Texas just reminds me of the movie.

Technology is advancing and changing at an increasing rate. Things that used to take years to achieve is often accomplished in a matter of months. Which is kind of scary.

Every time I open pick up a newspaper there is an ad for something faster, more powerful, bigger and better. It almost seems as if you buy something today a few months later it will be out of date. You can't really keep up with it. If you need or want something you just have to buy it with the assumption and realization that it will be out of date in the very near future.

You just get used to and figure out your new technology device and get comfortable with it. Then, it breaks or you get a new one and spend countless hours trying to figure the new one out. Which we didn't have to do in the good old days. Seriously though the good old days were not that long ago.

We have so many little gizmo's, gadgets, and techie devices now I can't image what we will see in 10 to 20 years from now. But, when I think back 10 to 20 years ago I would have never guessed we would have or be using some of what we do now.

By now you have probably heard about Osama Bin Laden being killed. It would be hard to have missed a story about it in the news, and it is all over the internet right now.

Besides being a little sudden and somewhat unexpected after all these years the thing I find rather strange is where he was actually found.

It is hard to believe Osama Bin Laden was found right in the middle of a city of decent size. And, on top of that within a few hundred yards of a Pakastani military facility. Strange that nobody noticed or suspected anything out of the ordinary surrounding the place where he apparently called home.

I didn't catch how long he had been living at that location. Whether it was for years, or just more recently. If he had been living there for an extended amount of time it is very strange, and almost unreal that someone didn't suspect something sooner.

I guess I just assumed that Osama Bin Laden would likely never be found not to mention killed. If he were found, captured, or killed I was expecting it to be more like a remote location. Maybe a bunker, underground, or in one of these caves we often heard about in media reports.

At any rate it is nice to see the Osama Bin Laden chapter finally come to a close. Not that there will not be others to worry about and deal with, but at least this one is finally over.
