Cheryl's aunt and uncle came out this last weekend, to see what
kind of lunatic's house their niece was living in. In stark
contrast to her father, her uncle Bill was a clean cut, smallish,
bookish fellow (he's a history teacher), who was both polite
and concerned about his niece (nice to see SOMEONE in that
clan gives a damn). Her aunt was nice enough, but you could
tell that she found the situation...suspicious.
Bill and I spent a few hours shooting clay ducks and drinking a
couple of beers on Saturday. He seemd nervous about the gun
at first, but soon got into it. Then he asked me, point blank, if
there was anything "going on". I said no, I was simply offering
her shelter, as I would do fo anyone in her situation. He seemed
relieved by that to no end, and mentioned that he was going to
offer to pay her way through community college, and perhaps a
proper degree, if she did well.
I said that I thought that was fantastic, but that he'd have to
approach her about it, as I am NOBODY'S boss. He agreed,
and was about to say something else, when Sameer came
roaring up my driveway.
Sameer was very upset, and told me that the INS had just
detained his son, in preparation for deportation.
"WTF? Isn't he supposed to be found guilty, first?"
"You would think so", said Sameer, "but under the PATRIOT
Act, they don't NEED any excuse. My lawyer says there's
nothing he can do."
Bill looked puzzled, but was too polite to say anything. I
