Well, Yesterday Sucked

This may be a shock to you, but some of my coworkers really don't like coming to work.
On Wednesday, we were getting crushed with jobs. We had four detectives and everyone was exhausted by the end of the tour.
On Thursday, I had two detectives - we ignore Diego. Three detectives decided to take a sick out, claiming they were "sick."
Now I understand some of the detectives were exhausted on Wednesday, but having three detectives deciding to call out in the same day. Well, it's pretty petty.
I'd like to think we'll have more detectives today, but I'm not expecting it.

One Man In Southwest India Taught People To Swim From Free In A River To End Drownings

Following the tragic drownings of 15 schoolchildren in his home town, an Indian man has started a swimming club that has seen more than 10,000 learn how to handle themselves in the water.
He’s narrowed down the introductory course, which focuses entirely on swimming for safety rather than for sport, to just 16 lessons that begins by removing the fear of the water and the river’s current.
It’s called the Valasseril River Swimming Club, and it now boasts thousands of members among the communities living along the Periyar river in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala.
Saji did this to make sure people would not drown in waterways.
This man is a godsend, and he certainly should be lauded for taking his time to learn Indians who want to swim and do so safely.

The Pool Float Pervert

Meet Christopher Monnin - guess where he lives... Florida.
A man who admitted sexually gratifying himself with pool floats has pleaded guilty to a months-long burglary spree that netted him dozens of inflatable partners, according to court records.
In a deal with Florida prosecutors, Christopher Monnin, 41, copped to theft and burglary charges on the eve of his scheduled June 2 criminal trial in Brevard County.
Monnin’s case, which has dragged on for years, began following his 1:30 AM “suspicious person” arrest by a Palm Bay Police Department officer. The cop spotted Monnin riding a bicycle and carrying a “white garbage bag full of what he identified as deflated pool floats.
So the other day a guy places a ferret in his pants, and now this clown who likes to pleasure himself with pool floats.
Let's hope he has plenty of cleainig supplies for the pool. Blecch!

A Florida Man Was Fondling His Ferret After Stealing A Weasel.

A Florida man - who else? - was arrested after he was found fondling his ferret.
The man, who was not given out his name, decided he wanted to fondle a ferret at a Petland store.
The male fondled the ferret and shortly after, he grabbed the ferret and placed it in his pants.
You know, you can just pet it for a few moments without sticking one in the front on his junk.
One wonders if the male would be able to see his ferret in jail. Dumbass.

So, This Happened On Memorial Day

So my division split on Memorial Day and I was set for the front part of the day. It wasn't very exciting until I heard about someone said there was a fire by our parking lot.
I assumed it was nothing, so I didn't go out and see what happened.
When I left at the first shift, I waslked to my Honda Pilot and saw something was burning. Some jackasses apparently decided to get warm by taking paper and other easily burning items, and the scum put it under my car.
I lost when I saw this jagoff tried to destroy my car. Yes, my car is a 2012 Honda Pilot, but it runs great.
I cannot wait until this a-hole walks past me so I can have a heart-to-heart talk before I run him over my car.
155 days and I'm gone.

Medals All Around!

(Above, left to right, Kevin, Bishop, Hunter, and Dillon.)
On last Saturday, Kevin was running at the Judge Relays. It's usually a big event, where teams from all over to show up.
Kevin was running in the 4x400 relay, and he was the anchor - the last person to get the baton.
The first three runners were going great, and when Kevin grabbed the baton he sprinted as fast he could go.
I was cheering Kevin as were a lot of his friends who weren't running at the time. They finished fifth overall, and they were good enough to get medals.
They were all excited. The Archbishop Ryan had a great day. The girls ran the 4x8 and won medals, the two shot girls both won medals, and Corey won two medals on hurdles and won the long jump at 20 feet.
Yeah, it was a good day.
Oh, the week before, Kevin ran the 800 and passed seven runners in the last straightaway. He's running better than ever.

Val Kilmer, He Was Your Huckleberry - 1959-2025

Val Kilmer, one of the best actors of all time, has passed away today.
Val Kilmer, a homegrown Hollywood actor who tasted leading-man stardom as Jim Morrison and Batman, but whose protean gifts and elusive personality also made him a high-profile supporting player, died on Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 65. The cause was pneumonia, said his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer. Mr. Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 but later recovered, she said.
Kilmer was fighting a surge of maladies, and it seemed like he was getting better. Sadly, he could not overcome the pneumonia.
Val was an amazing actor, with a terrific list of amazing movies. Doc Holliday in Tombstone, Jim Morrison in The Doors, Elvis Presley in True Romance, Chris Knight in Real Genius, Iceman in Top Gun, and possibly his best film as Chris Shiherlis in Heat.
It's a sad day, for Hollywood. If nothing else, at least Val can see some peace.

Shelly Threw It Hard, But The Boyfriend Had A Harder Wick

Meet Shelly Hardwick from, well, you already guessed it, Florida.
Shelly was arrested after throwing a watermelon at her boyfriend. The boyfriend dodged the watermelon, but Hardwick claimed she did not throw it at boyfriend.
Riiight!
Look, I can understand that Hardwick - heh - would be angry at her boyfriend, but throwing a watermelon at the guy was probably not the best idea Shelly ever had.
Obviously, Shelly will be spending some jail time, and maybe she can drop watermelons and toss oranges?
By the way, doesn't Shelly look like Gollum of the Lord of the Rings?

Lousy Cheap Computers!

So, in the past few days I have had terrible problems with my desk at work. For some reason, when I start my work computer, the computer crashes, or worse, mess with our computers.
There is an app where we can see calls from out four districts. It's a pretty important app, but for the last week or so, when I try to open the app, it knocks me off the line.
Suffice to say it's pretty damned infuriating.
When the app knocks me off the line, I have to ask a supervisor to call downtown to get it fixed. The problem is that when I come in the next day, it knocks me off the line again.
And again, and again, and again.
Now the app isn't all that great, but it's the app I need when people are sick or late for court. I would try to fix this myself, but every time I try, I get knocked off the line.
I understand that our computers aren't the best, but for crying out loud, why should we have to suffer through this every singe day.
It's just annoying.

The Missus Is Going Back To Work

Yes, the missus has been working in the script area for a few years now, but the school's first grade teacher passed away.
After the principal asked if she wanted to take over first grade, she decided she would. She will still be working in the script area on weekends and occasionally on weekdays.
It'll help with two of us bringing in the bacon. The Catholic schools don't pay much, but it's better than nothing.
Of course, she comes home and rants about a few of the first graders, but otherwise, she seems to like it.
