I know how he feels...

This week, I decided it was time to start to wean myself of caffeine. So far so good. Its Wednesday and I have only had one cup. I am also eradicating refined sugars and a few sweet things, however after last nights two donuts I don't think its a very successful start.

News story of the week:

Tour guide stabs 15 tourists

SMH. April 4, 2007 - 12:53PM

"A tour guide in southwest China stabbed 20 tourists and locals in an attack blamed on a row over kickbacks from souvenir shops and possibly linked to an unhappy childhood, Xinhua news agency said on Tuesday.

Xu Minchao, 25, was leading 40 tourists through Lijiang, a World Heritage-listed tourist destination in mountainous Yunnan province, on Sunday when he suddenly ran into a souvenir shop and demanded a knife, Xinhua said.

"Not realising the man was ready to kill, a girl in the shop gave him one and was stabbed immediately in the arm," Xinhua said.

Xu ran back out onto the street to stab and slash four residents and 15 tourists. Two boys were seriously injured, including a 15-year-old who remained in critical condition in hospital after suffering brain injuries, Xinhua said."
