Hello Fellow Travelers!
I love to read, always did, probably always will. My mom knows this and tries to send me all sorts of Arizona-based newspaper articles, comics and other op/ed pieces that catch her fancy. Sometimes she'll put little notes on the "clippin's" (that's how I refer to them) like, " do you like this?" and "What about this?" Usually she sends pictures of AZ or funny political cartoons, I guess she was running low on "clippin's", or feeling especially puckish when she sent me what turned out to be a Sex-Offender-Moving-Into-Your-Neighborhood flyer.
Once we established this scary-looking dude was NOT moving into my parents' neck of the woods, the questions started flying fast and furious. Where DID they get such an icky thing? (my niece) What IS Third Degree Rape? (Where there is threat of substantial, unlawful harm to the property rights of the victim. As in, do it with me or I'll egg your car! A Class 'C' Felony, by the way) and finally, Why would she send it to me? (to get out of the State? Her State?) Ship it to California! The best part for me was what my mother wrote on the top right hand, corner: "How about this?" I mean you gotta love that!
What I'm sure happened in actuality, is my mom wrote me a nice letter and knowing her mail carrier was coming sooner than later, grabbed the icky-but-interesting document, wrote a quick question on it then popped it in the mail. Whatever predicated the flyers arrival isn't important ( and no, he wasn't an old boyfriend of mine or anyone I know. I asked.)it cracked me up, got my spouse looking up legal terminology on his phone and my son to promptly remove the garbage.
Thought for the Day: Tropical Storm (Category 1 tops) Isaac? Not very Scary
Hurricane Katrina (Cat 5)? Now that's some scary shit!
