As I had mentioned in a previous post , three weeks ago burglars paid us a visit. They broke into our house through a small window. Among items that were taken included laptop computers two digital cameras, and a cell phone, and, by the way, also our Corvette. It happened in the middle of the day. Our neighbors had witnessed the crime. The burglars were driving a pickup truck that had been stolen from the local Toyota dealer two days earlier. The dealership confirmed this information. Three days later the stolen pickup crashed and the occupants fled on foot and were not apprehended. Still no word on the Corvette. I suspected that the Corvette had gone to a chop shop and I would never see it again. Two weeks following the crash I received a call from a sheriff's detective. He had just returned from vacation and was beginning work on the case. We discussed relevant aspects of the case. He told me that he would keep me informed about any progress. About 2 hours later the d

Cheeseheads riot over cartoon images showing the Prophet Lombardi (PBUH) as somewhat less than a deity. Green Bay, WI - Like a pot of bratwurst left unattended at a Lambeau Field pregame party, simmering tensions in the strife-torn Midwest boiled over once again today as rioting mobs of green-and-gold clad youth and plump farm wives rampaged through Wisconsin Denny’s and IHOPs, burning Texas toast and demanding apologies and extra half-and-half. The spark igniting the latest tailgate hibachi of unrest: a Texas newsletter's publication of caricatures of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. Protestors demonstrated against the images throughout the Badger State yesterday, with violent egging and cow-tipping incidents reported in Oconomowac, Pewaukee, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Antigo, Oshkosh, Waubeno, Wauwautosa, Waunewoc, Wyocena, Waubeka, and Washawonamowackapeepee. Read the whole story. But check this story to see what is really happening in Iraq.

My sister was visiting. We just returned home from an outing , mid afternoon. But, why was the garage door open, and, oh, by the way, where was the Corvette? Yes, that's right. Burglars had paid us a visit. They gained entry through a bathroom window and the rest is history. They rummaged through my desk and found the keys to the car. They also profited by two cameras, one cell phone and items still not discovered missing. Now, the interesting part of the whole story was that our neighbors had witnessed the crime. We believe that they were driving a truck that had been stolen from a local dealership two days earlier. The dealership confirmed what the witness had seen. Three days later we learned that the same truck had crashed, and the occupants fled the scene on foot. One thing we will probably never see reported in the local fish wrapper; these folks are doing the jobs that Americans just won't do.
