More Tanya

Thanks for all the thousands of letters and cards. I admit I was out of sorts since hearing that Hunter S. was gone, but shit, I'll go the same way when the time comes if I have a choice. Let the wolves and buzzards have at me.

I recently heard that a former flame of mine, Tanya Tucker (see previous post) had to file a protection order against her former fiance, Jerry Laseter. He denied the allegations Friday, saying he never hit her nor had he ever been physically abusive in any way. She said in a written statement that she was awakened when Laseter poured "ice cold water on me and started yelling at me." She said he started poking her in the chest and grabbed her by the throat. A sheriff's deputy was called to the scene, but Tucker did not want to file charges. Tucker locked herself in a bathroom, and Laseter kicked in the door, according to the deputy's report.

Now I don't condone this stuff, but what the hell? Did he pull her hair too? You don't choke a lady, idiot! What kind of man are you? You better hope I don't run into you in a dark alley.
