    If you haven’t voted – please do so – even if I don’t agree with your opinion this is YOUR chance to be part of the democratic process.


  • Even Supreme Court Justices get bored

    Date: 2008.11.04 | Category: ahh the news, links! | Response: 0

    I caught this link to a decision from Chief Justice John Roberts that was written in noir style.

    Officer Sean Devlin, Narcotics Strike Force, was working the morning shift. Undercover surveillance. The neighborhood? Tough as a three­ dollar steak. Devlin knew. Five years on the beat, nine months with the Strike Force. He’d made fifteen, twenty drug busts in the neighborhood.

    “Devlin spotted him: a lone man on the corner. Another approached. Quick exchange of words. Cash handed over; small objects handed back. Each man then quickly on his own way. Devlin knew the guy wasn’t buying bus tokens. He radioed a description and Officer Stein picked up the buyer. Sure enough: three bags of crack in the guy’s pocket. Head downtown and book him. Just another day at the office.

    You can read the rest of the details at The BLT I have never seen anything like this, then again, I don’t think I’ve spent any time reading supreme court decisions. I’m glad the guy has a sense of humor.

  • Can’t sleep, too much time and talent, and zombies

    Par for the course during the first week of mid-shift is an inability to sleep throughout the “night.” I only got four hours of sleep and I’m wide awake now. There is no going back to sleep and I will be exhausted by the time I go to bed tomorrow. Luckily, day two always turns out better and I’m able to get a solid six hours of sleep.

    This guy (video below) has far too much time and talent on his hands. Bravo!

    Jessica and I had our party and we dressed as zombies for Halloween. The makeup took quite a while but I think the effect was pretty darn good. Yes – we like brains!
