The FDLE Missing Children Information Clearinghouse
In response to the concern for missing children in Florida, the 1982 Florida Legislature appropriated funds to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for the establishment of the first state Missing Children Information Clearinghouse (MCIC) in the nation. The program provides a liaison between citizens, private organizations and law enforcement officials regarding missing children information.
The MCIC is located within the Division of Criminal Justice Information Services and is a central repository of information regarding missing children. The information is collected and disseminated to assist law enforcement agencies, public and private organizations and the citizens of Florida in locating missing children. The MCIC is utilized as a resource center and information exchange service, and complements the state and federal computerized missing persons files.
As part of the MCIC’s services, a toll-free telephone line (1-888-356-4774) is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
The FDLE Sexual Offender Predator Search System
A Florida law, effective 7/1/96, requires the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to maintain an updated list of Registered Sexual Predators in this state after a court has made a written finding designating them as a Sexual Predator as that term is defined by Florida statute.
Chapter 97-299, Laws of Florida, requires certain sex offenders to directly register with law enforcement or to have information compiled by the Department of Corrections, with the information to be provided to FDLE. Florida law makes that information available to the public. This site provides you with public information regarding Sexual Predators and Sex Offenders.

Halloween Palm doodle drawn on the bus –
Based on this found skull-bead thing I found on walkies yesterday –
It is haunted, the voice it puts in my head [sounds a bit like Jim Backus] makes me laugh at purple things and rewards me with small treats like found candy corn and one dollar bills. He’s very tiny, as you can tell by looking at the pattern on my pants as his background. I’d estimate one third of an inch tall. (maybe 8 mm?)
I wonder if anyone’s made a rosary comprised of skull-beads? Sounds terribly goth-y, but fun.
Feel free to ask the skull-head a question, and I will give his answers in the comments field below.
Moment of Lyric:
Explained to ST as to why I don’t like the idea of dating inside the workplace. Pretty simple, really… I have never seen it work with people of my personality type. I know of exactly one couple that met at work that has gone on to be a great pairing for years and years (GrayP & Katt), but they’re the exception that proves the rule. Besides… folks need time apart as well as together… it’d try any relationship for folks to end up living in the same place and working the same place… fatigue is bound to set in. Plus, if a breakup happens, or if one partner gets fired… the whole dynamic goes to poop.
The rains came back last night, and they haven’t left yet. Water on glass is a good sound.
Wilma is a Cat5 right now, gusting to 212 mph, and a barometric pressure of 884 MB (lowest recorded!) Yikes.

You fit in with: Humanism Your ideals mostly resemble that of a Humanist. Although you do not have a lot of faith, you are devoted to making this world better, in the short time that you have to live. Humanists do not generally believe in an afterlife, and therefore, are committed to making the world a better place for themselves and future generations. 0% scientific. |

I’d say that’s pretty spot on, though I do like science quite a bit.

Wilma’s Doing a U-turn?
Okie doke, I have the base in my checking account to cover closing costs should we get to applying for the loan. I also have all my tax and required information so we can go full speed ahead. I have left a message with the management regarding an interview,and may need to call later in the week if necessary.
From momster-
I was upset to learn that derek [bro] has left the sober house (a few weeks ago they said) I had a call from them on my house phone. I think he could have at least let me know..he will have to make arrangements to pay back the last week and the security. I hope to talk this over with him. I left a him a message. I spoke to him for a short minute yesterday..he sounded like he was drinking..I ‘m not surprised.

Current Monroe County Mugshots – at the moment, it’s mostly coke heads, vagrants and drunk drivers.
You can’t go by time in Broward, you have to enter a name, or crime type.
Some isn’t very accurate. This woman is Half a ton, and only 7 inches tall! Looks like she’s set to be released in another month or so. Apparently she’s made of white dwarf stellar matter.
I can’t seem to comment of Havagan’s journal. Where’s the fun in that? I want to rant about crappy programming gigs, and RSS feeds there! No dice with MSIE, Mozilla fat or firefox. Humbug!
The damned condo commission called my current landlord without asking me. I wasn’t planning on giving him any info unless success was assured, and now LL knows that I’m shopping around. That doesn’t help me much when I’m on a month to month lease, because he could already decide to jack the rent or boot me with only 30 days notice… with season coming I don’t need to give him any more incentive than he might already have.
I told him it was an investment property, (which is true, except that if things work out, I’ll also live there.)
The grounds here are a mess, and he said that he’d knock off whatever he was giving the other guy from my rent if I maintain the place. That’s doable… a little raking and hosing once a week shouldn’t be that much of a hassle.
I imagine that means he’ll be doing some work on the building, if he’s planning on renting the other ones out… considering that they’ve been pretty much empty since the guy bought the place.
I don’t know what the deal is with this LL… he still hasn’t cashed my October Rent check. Must be nice to be so wealthy that you can just blow off hundreds of dollars for weeks (sometimes months) on end without giving it a second thought.
I’ve never liked condo commandos, and this nonsense is just confirming my presuppositions.
Knit zombies reenact Dawn of the Dead
The Library has a surprisingly nice collection of graphic novels / hardbound comics.
Have some lovely scenes from the good ol’ days of comics:
Green lantern gets sick of his favorite Zombie returning *yet again*, so he throws him to the moon. I seem to recall Superman exiling him to the moon at one point, too (wearing supe’s cape, and playing at flying in the lower gravity)… who knows how he keeps finding his way back?
