Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers

It's a tough job, which doesn't get the respect and appreciation it deserves.

Update 12:14AM Saturday 5/12

It's still in the (re-heated) Atlanta news cycle, but with no new information. WSB (Ch.2) devoted 18 seconds to the story starting 12:07PM, confirming a neighbor report on the Decatur Heights Google group around 2:30PM yesterday of helicopters flying overhead. (Usually we hear that sound well beyond the borders of our calm, peaceful little neighborhood, most typically over downtown Decatur.) Apparently the medical examiner has not yet released an official determination of cause of death and approximate timing. [All we know now is he didn't show up for work Thursday.]
