Something I noticed.. in Beetle juice, the waiting room is full of people that’ve been dead a long,time, and are stuck in the state they were in at death. (Smoker in bed charred, guy that got run over flat as a pancake.) I figure the main ghostly couple should’ve been wet the whole time. I also wonder where the Maitlands ended up when the cartoon started.

Speaking of Ghosts (thanks Disney, and Thurl.), the Walk I took at Evergreen was nice enough.

Yesterday, I walked over and under the New River, over a lesser canal twice, saw a very handsome black lab puppy, ate wheat thins and drank cold cold iced tea between six and twelve feet above an assortment of veterans, Freemasons, infants and people of the Jewish faith. Not to mention the unmarked graves of folks killed in a disastrous hurricane in 1926.

When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.

More to follow tomorrow.

Moment of Lyric –

All those people that you know
floatin’ in the river are logs.
Well let’s take this potted plant
to the woods and set it free.
I’m gonna tell the owners
just how nice that was of me.

Girls sued for delivering cookies

DURANGO, Colorado (AP) — Two teenage girls who surprised their neighbors with homemade cookies late one night were ordered to pay nearly $900 in medical bills for a woman who says she was so startled that she had to go to the hospital.

Judge Doug Walker declined Thursday to award punitive damages, saying he did not believe the girls acted maliciously.

Taylor Ostergaard, 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitti, 18, baked the chocolate chip and sugar cookies one night last July.

They made packages with a half-dozen cookies each and added large red or pink construction-paper hearts that carried the message, “Have a great night.”

The notes were signed with their first initials: “Love, The T and L Club.”

Then they set off to make their deliveries.

Wanita Renea Young, 49, said she was at her rural home south of Durango around 10:30 p.m. when she said saw “shadowy figures” outside the house banging repeatedly on her door.

She yelled, “Who’s there?” but no one answered, and the figures ran away.

Frightened, she spent the night at her sister’s home, then went to the hospital the next morning because she was still shaking and had an upset stomach.

The teenagers’ families offered to pay Young’s medical bills, but she declined and sued, saying their apologies were not sincere and were not offered in person.

The girls declined comment after the ruling. Taylor’s mother said the girl “cried and cried.”

“She felt she was being punished for doing something nice,” Jill Ostergaard said.

Young said the teenagers showed “very poor judgment”

“The victory wasn’t sweet,” Young said. “I’m not gloating about it. I just hope the girls learned a lesson.”

The teens said they did not answer when the woman called out because they wanted the treats to be a surprise.
