That'll teach 'em.

Yup yup, Wednesday morning started with a couple of kids egging my kitchen window. BIG THANKS to Officers JOSH and JEFF with the local PD for scooping those kids up so quickly. They were courteous, efficient, and did not seem to take my foul language too personally. Sorry fellas, I was still all hopped up on rage kittens when you came by.

I've thought about this. I want kids to stop egging our stuff, but I can't catch them every time. Therefore, the best choice is to actively circulate rumors until our teeny little house becomes known as, "The Ol' Murder Bordello," and then the only real trouble we'll get is on Halloween when kids dare each other to run up and touch the front door.

PS: A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Program your local PD's NonEmergency number into your cell phone.

It's super handy. You can call that line with any ol' thing: eggin', noise complaints, stray dog, bloody mop handle in your trash... (True story.)

Go on, take a minute and knock it out. Then you can pat yourself on the back for being a responsible adult and go back to eating a whole box of Lucky Charms alone while you watch reality shows on YouTube.

Unexpected Wedding Disasters

A pal of mine (hey Paula!) is getting married soon. Like most engaged gals, she reads bridal literature, which usually puts information in list format. "FOUR WAYS TO SAVE ON CENTERPIECES." "TEN MOTHER-IN-LAW DRESSES THAT ARE SEXY IN A MODEST KIND OF WAY." Stuff like that.

Well, the other day she read a list of top nine wedding reception disasters. "Melted candles" made the list. Can you believe that?

There are WAY worse disasters to be had.

It's been ages since I saw a decent romantic comedy in the theaters.

I met a police sergeant yesterday who mentioned that he met his wife in the academy. 

C'mon, that's gold. You'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll get to see young recruits fight through an obstacle course after getting pepper sprayed right in the eyes. Then, I dunno, they can foil a heist on the night of the big policemen's ball.

Get the lead out, Hollywood.

FAST Stroke Detection (New Poster!)

Last month I got a request from the nice folks at St. Luke's in Houston, TX for permission to use the FAST Stroke detection comic for one of their events. I redrew the comic to be more suitable for a poster-type-situation and voila!

Now, apparently, it's in magnet form! Too cool, St. Luke's. Keep teachin' kids about how to spot strokes.
