Ok, I was going to have a catchy come-back about a beating and a slab of meat or something, but.........maybe skip that one! Too many marleggies on this board!

"Marleggy" = my mother at 2 years old telling Grandma her brother was being a smarteleck. Is there even a proper spelling for that word?

Is it too early for a drink?

My aunt used to tell us we couldn't have anything but milk, juice or water before 11am. She strictly enforced that rule! So, I would assume that after 11am, anything goes!!

It's never too early for a drink. As my sainted father used to say, "It's five o'clock somewhere."

Well I have been gone for a while but have come back to see we now are joking about the crime in our area!! I'm sure the parent's of the girl that got murdered in the Caribou Tim Horton's doesn't take our crime lightly. Or the family that burned in their home in Caribou after our local high school coach shot his wife and two small children and started a fire then shot himself I'm sure the family that is now left with such grief doesn't take the crime in Maine so lightly!! You can ignore what is going on until it effect's you then I think people will change their mind's.Ignoring crime just makes it more exceptable. It isn't as bad as New York so where okay??? Tell that to the people who have lost love ones .I think it's time to start caring about our neighbor's not just about ourselves.

Speaking of a big white van, a news story came out recently about a group of unknown males who drove through downtown Houston one night and loaded up a van full of homeless men and women, telling them they were taking them to a shelter. They took them an hour outside the city in the middle of nowhere and dumped them at gunpoint on the side of the road.

Now, I am as disgusted as anyone about the sheer masses of homeless in our streets that add to the safety issues around here. But I cannot condone treating them like stray dogs. How cruel!

By the way, ever hear of such an occurence in Maine?

No but I do remember a Nadeau boy somewhere between the age of 10 to 14 year's old was going to testify for the State of Maine in Caribou against some drug dealers and the day before he was suppose to testify he dissappeared they later found his body in a shallow grave in the wood's Later two people where sent to prison for it.One of the people who was arrested was a warden's son. The mother was devistated.
