A nationwide search is underway for a University of Georgia professor who police say shot and killed his wife and two men early this afternoon at an Athens theater gathering. George Zinkhan, 56, is still at large, Athens-Clarke police said.
[Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence] Holeman raised the possibility that the shooting could be a crime of passion. “I can only speculate,” he said. “Some people are saying it could be a love triangle or something like that.” Zinkhan appeared to target Tanner, Teague and Bruce, said Rick Bedell, an actor with the Town and Gown Players, but he did not know why. "It was deliberate,” Bedell said. “He shot these three people specifically and walked out.“They were good people, and I have no idea why (Zinkhan) went nuts,” he said.

My home internet's still down

I've been writing about how lovely our county is, how rural, pretty, and farm-oriented. Below, the scene next door to where my friend lives. It's what I see when I pull up to her house.

I took a trip into Athens yesterday on a search for quinoa . Quinoa ia a healthy protein alternative to meat and fish. There is a huge protein bang for the buck in this South American Super Grain. Anyway, the health food store is just a few doors from from the Five Points Fire Station. Pretty, isn't it? Even the city around here is nice.
