LICENSE PLATE NOT CHANGED TO CONDEMN THE GUILTY


Mary Grey and FaintlyMacabre were shopping at HEB for ingredients for their Valentine's meal for our parents, and I drove past the front of the store to pick them up. I went around once and they were not there, so I circled around the pack of the store and came around again through the side parking lot. So there I was, creeping carefully along between the rows of parked cars when a short white guy in a white shirt ran past, something black in his hand. "Oh, cool!" I thought. "Just like the movies, with a thief running away and... Oh My Gracious, HE'S STEALING HER PURSE!?!?!?!" My first reaction was to chase him, but he would have been long gone by the time I had stopped the car. Without consciously thinking, I switched to reverse, slammed on the gas and then the brakes, and saw him jump into a car that instantly screamed out of the parking lot. The license plate seared into my memory without my even knowingly memorizing it. I quickly parked my car and when I got out I heard a hysterical lady calling for police. She stood with three or four friends, all talking Spanish faster than a whirlybird. Thankfully they understood English, and I told them the license plate, and they called the police, and it was SO COOL!!!

What Can I Say?

The other day while driving on my merry way, I noticed an unusual church sign. Now you have to understand, I have this thing with the odd sayings on many church signs, the kind where you can change the letters. Though they tend to say unusual things, this one takes the cake.

"The pastor saw his shadow. Six more weeks of lousy sermons."



Uhhhhhhhhhh.............

S.S. Stands for Secret Service

Fact: Secret Service agents make me feel guilty even when I am perfectly innocent.

Fact: Secret Service agents are suspicious of the littlest thing, even an old lady falling down metal steps.

Fact: Secret Service agents don't wear dark glasses, and they can occasionally smile.



Fact: The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Concert Choir and University Singers, with a lowly ithilienprincess among their ranks, sang yesterday for the 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush.

Fact: He loved our singing so much that he interrupted the beginning of his speech to thank us.

Fact: President Bush is WAY CUTE, even if he is "eighty-one and-a-half going on eighty-two."

Fact: He flashed his coat at the end of the program, to show just the choir that the lining of his coat was an American flag.

Fact: It feels really wierd to sing part of Mozart's Requiem for an old guy.

Fact: One of the Secret Service agents looked like a very tough no nonsense Queen Shenaynay. I mean REALLY, REALLY looked like the Queen, only she was packing a gun. I think I've discovered the Queen's secret identity.

Fact, fact, fact. There is too much to tell, so you can hear the rest at Boot Camp.
