Escape and No Free Ice Cream....

 

 What do they say about opportunity knocking?

I'm outta here. Headed up north for nice 3 day weekend.

Be back later. Play nice.

 All the best,

Some People Suck.....

 

I have been doing a ruck pretty much every morning in the conservation area that is on the way to work.  As you get to the end of the trail, headed to the parking lot, there is a foot bridge over a small stream. Last month I started tossing a penny into the “ Wishing Stream “ as I named it. My goal was to get them to land on the flat stone you see. It was submerged and rotated CW about 90 degrees from where it sits now.

There were maybe 30-40 pennies scattered around and on top of the stone.

Needless to say, some intrepid person, decided they needed 30+ cents and went out of their way to go down to the stream, move the stone,  and take all my daily “Wish” pennies.

People suck.

The new penny was from this morning.

 

I guess I can hope that maybe it was my Guardian Angel gathering my wishes and I’m gonna hit the Powerball Lottery soon.

Let’s see how many I can add until the thief returns.

Polk County Sheriff discusses the shooting of 42 yr. old Timothy Schultz

In a nutshell; Schultz was swimming in a lake with alligators. Neighbors call the law. Schultz refuses aid for the gator bite. Schultz arms himself wih prunning shears and is acting "out of control"/threatens deputies. Deputies shoot Schultz multiple times after trying to deescalate the situation and tasing him twice. No deputies were injured in this incident. Read more here and here. Meth was also mentioned in the articles (shocker).
