76-Year-Old Asian Woman Fights Off a 39-Year-Old Attacker, Sending Him To The Hospital
On Wednesday, while a 76-year-old Asian woman was waiting to cross the street in San Francisco, she was punched in the face by a 39-year-old man. But Xiao Zhen Xie acted quickly when she spotted a two-foot stick nearby. She grabbed the stick and hit him back, so hard he was sent to the hospital with a bloody face, and apparently “dazed".
“This bum, he hit me,” Xie told a crowd in Chinese, crying as she held the stick she’d used to defend herself.
Picture of the Day
The last US Civil War Widow died in 2020. The practice of a young woman marrying an older man for his Civil War pension as a dependent was common practice in the early 20th century
Since he was 93 at the time of his marriage, and she was 17, then she went on to live until 101 herself – a full 155 years AFTER the Civil War ended.
In 1936, in the midst of the Great Depression, she married 93-year-old James Bolin (1843–1939), who had served in the 14th Missouri Cavalry. Jackson was 17. She met him when her father volunteered her to help the elderly Bolin with basic chores. With no other means to repay her kindness, Bolin offered to marry Jackson so she would become eligible to receive his pension after he died. Similar marriages had occurred before.
Jackson and Bolin were married outside his home in Niangua, Missouri. Following the marriage, the couple never made their marriage public, fearing damage to Jackson’s reputation. She continued to live with her parents. Following Bolin’s death, three years later, Jackson decided against applying for the $73.13 monthly pension after Bolin’s daughters threatened to ruin her reputation.

How Bad Is Prison Food?
First, let’s take commissary food out of the equation. In Missouri they give you a 2000 calory a day diet. But that’s only if you eat everything on your plate. Chances are you will not. So unless you are able to spend money at the prison commissary on food you will lose weight.
I was fortunate to have loved ones send me money. I have never forgotten that.
Now the types of food. Some wasn’t bad but most was bad. Pizzas were like school pizzas. Square with just cheese on them oatmeal and dry cereal wasn’t bad but how can you mess that up?
