To everyone who has acted as a caregiver and nurtured a living thing. Thanks! Guten Muttertag!

I always get gilbert.

Today’s been quite the hectic one for missing kids… fortunately, the majority of them have been recovered right away. (one 15 year old who got into an argument with his grandparents is still out and about, but from the description given, he’s not going to be messed with, or a danger to himself or others.)

Big Kahuna was kind enough to take call from 4:30-9pm, giving me at least a little window of freedom this weekend. I celebrated by going to cheeburger cheeburger, getting a chocolate malted and a grilled portobello sammich, no fries, and enjoying a little fresh air.

The pleasure was welcome, because once I got home, I had another couple of calls smack me all at once, including 3 missing kids with a babysitter in Tombs County Georgia… those folks are sweet as pie, but the accent is *very thick* and I had trouble with the dispatcher girl’s descriptions. While on the phone with her, a Hialeah call came in., so i got to multitask as best I could. Not too bad, but it was moderately stressful at the time. I don’t think ADP could’ve handled it at all, though MA would have dealt with it well enough, I think. I plopped into the website and made a few adjustments for time constraints that I think will make working the system even more automated than it already is.

People are still asking me questions about rules regarding inmate visits from entries I made nearly four years ago (back when Suzy was put in the clink). Since that person was asking from Santa Clara, CA, I could only give a limited answer about Broward, Florida.

Disneyland photo tour from the 50s and 60s. I’m glad that the parks went to all-day passes, rather than Lettered tickets.

Hmm.. ravenblack changed the way links work in the vampire game… I’m glad my daughter managed to help me get to thievery 3 before that point!

Naked Mole Rap Lyrics, for my own ref later.

and I wear the laser belt.

Best Bumper sticker seen lately :

In my mind, it’s recited with a emphasis on the *Ahhl KEEL JOO*

Friday was mostly nice. Spent a chunk of the afternoon working with VS and CB, while the hen party took place in CC’s office.

I got a 3:30 am call from Comanche County, (Oklahoma), thus the early morning entry.

MadTV on in the background… Robert Smith sounds as good as he ever did, but spinning around to look, age has taken a bit of a toll on him. Now I know what Jerry Garcia would look like if you shaved and gothificated him.

Quiz of Dooooooooooom!

A group of guards at the Broward County Main Jail kicked and stomped on a handcuffed, naked inmate Wednesday night until he was unconscious, according to several inmates who said they witnessed the beating. Continue reading 6643 – Not Just In Iraq →

I am not air-tight, freezer-safe, or easily shipped in brown packaging.

Yum. I had a lovely dinner of Quorn cutlets last night, with a side of green beans and carrots with dill in beer.

I’ve never had the troubles these guys mention.

Sunset clouds from last night… I prefer the orange.

Nobody told me Rod Roddy Died!

A French site mapping out all the covers of Astounding Stories from 1930 – 1971. The name changed over this period from Astounding Stories to Astounding Science Fiction to Analog in 1960.

Too much spirit kills sorcerer

A Sri Lankan magician killed himself during a black magic ritual to harness evil forces after he was overwhelmed by the spirits he had drunk, rather than those he was trying to cast spells on, a press report said today.

The 71-year-old man had used his full force to dash a coconut on the ground as part of the ritual on behalf of a customer, but lost his balance and ended up hooked on the trident, a weapon of Hindu gods, the Sinhalese-language Lankadeepa said.

The paper quoted the victim’s son as saying he had been drunk at the time.

Doctors said his death last week was due to excessive bleeding and shock.

You know, dear journal, things like this make me happy that I was born in 1969. Honestly, would the draft work, these days? Wouldn’t the *majority* of people come up 4F? (At least for being overweight, or on some sort of medicine.. isn’t everyone on one sort of medical track or another, these days?)

Times have changed a lot since the last draft. Or are we just more out of shape?

ldy pointed out in the coloringbook community – Celestial Seasonings Coloring Book! How nifty! if anyone colors any of ’em, please let me see!

It seems that you can get to my LJ website via – http://evilurl.com/lickboobdie How Naughty! I wonder how long that’ll last?

one year ago – creaky owies (after the accident at work), kartoo, getting into There.com, star wars kid,

two years ago – good smells and duties, links to great books and classics, puppyfrog! and a big ol’ survey

three years ago – Newt middle name poll (It’s usually Jellybean/Jalepeno these days), fiction writing ex’s… (I think I’ll work on those again soon), possibly tmi

TO celebrate, I will type whatever comes to mind, as fragmented as it is.

Checkup last night got rescheduled for 6pm… I came out with a clean bill of health, and confirmation that I’m losing weight at a decent clip for healthy reduction.

Mildly annoyed that my scheduling fails so often… being on call is great when you’re saving lives, suck rocks the other 85% of the calls. The phone is an albatross.

Thinking a lot about rings around the moon, and that makes me happy.

I suspect Porno Bob might be the next one on the cut list. I wonder if his association with CS will be a nail in his coffin?

lj auto-hero meme

Running late, pictures rather than text. After the walk, I remembered that *everyone* needs a clue, here and there, including me.

I’m a psycho-ghoooost!

piccies from yesterday’s rainy-day walk

There are about four people I can think of that need a clue. Sadly, I don’t really know them well enough to wrap one around a brick, and smack them in the head with it…Some folks have to live and learn by themselves. Plus, I may only know what I do from a skewed perspective.

Lots of rain, on one of my few nights off. I’m thinking that maybe just going out and splashing in the puddles is an answer.

Until later, dear journal!
