Ashley N. Liles graduated from Hazlewood High School in Town Creek in 2006. A short time later she gave birth to a son, now four years old. The 23 year-old single mother moved from Town Creek to Moulton in 2010, but was a regular visitor to her home town.
It was at an apartment in Town Creek that Liles allegedly bound her son's hands and feet and covered his mouth with duct tape, colloquially known as Alabama Chrome for its multitude of uses.
That brings us to the friend who provided Liles with the tape. We doubt any of these characters were members of MENSA, but does anyone believe the provider of the tape didn't know what the mother of a screaming toddler was going to do with it?
Our newly elected Republican legislators have stated they want less government, but we have to ask if requiring a permit to have children wouldn't be something to look into.

According to M.J. Ellington, Montgomery based reporter for both the TimesDaily and the Decatur Daily, yesterday was not only the holiday honoring the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. but also a state holiday dedicated to Jefferson Davis.
Perhaps Ms. Ellington had President Davis on her mind since our new governor referred to him in his inaugural address...or perhaps she doesn't know the difference between Davis and Gen. Robert E. Lee? Obviously she has some brushing up to do for the sesquicentennial.

Bloggers being only human (yep, we're pretty sure), sometimes become tired, or retire, of perhaps just take a vacation. We've recently deleted two links from our blog list due to inactivity. Rest assured, if these blogs are resurrected, we will again add them to our "must read" list. In the mean time, we're adding On the Road Again, a weight loss blog by our favorite Brown Recluse.

We hope everyone will read one of our newer blogs today...Dino's Deliberations. Today's topic is a fact of life for most of us at some point in our lives. We hope you'll view the video and the beautiful picture of Molly and remember those who are no longer at your side.
