Petito is, let alone what makes her particular murder\/disappearance any more noteworthy than the other uncounted women who are killed or go missing each day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>With no disrespect intended to the departed, two thoughts immediately come to mind: First, even were we aware Gabby Petito was missing and presumed murdered, we certainly wouldn&#8217;t have been holding our breath waiting word from the FBI as to her fate.\u00a0 We&#8217;re thinking such appeals more to the Honey Boo-Boo fan club.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Second, if the rest of the MSM&#8217;s coverage of this story is the same as\u00a0<em>FOX<\/em>&#8216;s, something tells us this is another Natalie Holloway, a sordid story given almost unending front page headlines so as to bolster sagging ratings.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Regardless, we&#8217;re not holding our breath.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;ll close with a couple personal prayer requests.\u00a0 First, two of our three brothers, as well as one of their wives, are all in various stages of COVID, so we&#8217;d greatly appreciate prayers for their recoveries.\u00a0 Rob is on the mend, but Tim and his wife Jeri are by no means in the clear.\u00a0 Second, Mrs. Jarlsberg, the wife of the esteemed Stilton of <a href=\"https:\/\/stiltonsplace.blogspot.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><u>Stilton&#8217;s Place<\/u><\/em><\/span><\/a> fame, is encountering some health issues, and we know Stilt would likewise cherish your prayers for her; wisdom for her doctors as they diagnose her condition, and healing and a speedy recovery for her.\u00a0 Lastly, we wanted to recognize the return of Balls Cotton, a number of whose contributions are contained in today&#8217;s installment of <em>On The Lighter Side<\/em> above.\u00a0 He&#8217;s still got some recovery ahead of him, but he&#8217;s gaining altitude and airspeed every day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Magoo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S.
