So Much for the Day Off…

This is the first week in about six that I will actually have two days off in a row and I had really planned to enjoy it. I made an appointment to have my car serviced this morning out off of Thornton Road at around 8:30 or so and I figured once I finally get out of there I would come home and work in the yard, then nap for a while.

Unfortunately my boss has other ideas. I am going to be stuck in a meeting from 3pm until around 5 or 6 tonight. On my day off. Needless to say I’m not particularly happy about having to go to a meeting on my day off but there’s nothing to be done for it except to suck it up and go.

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Just felt like posting before I have to go.

Greetings from Prison

I was reading this article over at CNN that talks about a new line of greeting cards that this lawyer (figures…) came up with while looking in vain for a birthday card for her brother-in-law while he was incarcerated.

Both the wife and I had a good laugh at some of the cards which include wonderful sentiments such as “You had the choice to be ‘naughty or nice.’ And you chose … Now you have to do your time. But, Christmas won’t be the same without you here.” or “we’re all praying for you while you do your time”. The first one is actually pretty funny and it got me to thinking.

It hurt, too…

Anyway, while I was sitting here drinking my morning coffee and reading I came up with a couple of greetings for incarcerated loved ones myself.

Congrats on the birth of your child!…It’s not your’s.

Merry Christmas you fucking loser.

Happy Thanksgiving…We’re enjoying a fine repast whilst Bubba stuffs your ass like a turkey.

A bit of Christmas cheer for my favorite dope, and here’s to hoping you don’t drop the soap.

You guys have any you want to add to the list?

Is the Parachute D.B. Cooper's?

Last year the FBI put out what basically amounts to a media blitz in the hopes that someone in the public would come forward with a bit of new information in the 37 year old case. It may have happened.



A torn and tangled parachute found by children in southwest Washington state may belong to famed hijacker D.B. Cooper, who jumped out of a jetliner in 1971 with $200,000 in cash, never to be seen again.
There’s been a story up for a couple of days at CNN that details some of the history.
