something's fishy

uh...
Why are the guys who are building the fence on the side of my house staring into my truck like something cute is sleeping inside of it? They're all taking turns gazing into the driver side window and talking about something... wierdos. There's nothing interesting about the interior of my truck... It's pretty wierd seeing all kinds of guys standing around our back yard looking at our messes on their lunch break. Geez...

Anyway it's Saturday and it's half as windy as it was yesterday, and the sun's actually out, so I'm going to take Eager Edgar out for a spin, a short one for a brain break, then I'll come back and finish the paper for astronomy...

What else is wierd is a year ago, a motorcyclist was racing a porsche in flordia, and being followed by a state trooper, whose tire blew and he lost control and died. Now the motorcyclist is sentenced 30 years because of it. And he didn't even know the trooper was following, let alone did he have anything real to do with his death, other than racing a porsche.

The thing I'm [Pat Campbell] having trouble with is the aggravated manslaughter and vehicular homicide charges. Williams didn't kill Trooper Haywood. He didn't run him off the road. A tire blow out at high speeds caused the trooper's car to crash. How do you hold Williams responsible for the actions of the officer? Trooper Haywood made a conscious decision to pursue the motorcycle in clear violation of his own departments pursuit policy. The only time the FHP can give pursuit is in a case involving a forcible felony. Trooper Haywood made a bad judgment call he put himself and fellow motorist at risk, sadly it cost him his life. The better option was to let a helicopter follow the cyclist. These charges fly in the face of personal responsibility how do you hold one man responsible for the decision and actions of another?

And, a cat stowed away on a plane and made it 3 weeks in a box of paper.
