Shock Therapy

 

March 25, 2024

 

I was reading my paper on my front porch one peaceful Sunday morning, when no fewer than 3 loud cars zoomed past—starting at 7 a.m.

 

Here’s what I think would be fun: If you see one of those cars parked somewhere, wouldn’t it be swell to have a decal with a clear background that looked like somebody had spray-painted “GET A MUFFLER”? Slap that bad boy on the car door, and watch the person’s face when they come out and think that someone has sprayed their car because they were so obnoxious.

 

 

Retraction Time

April 8, 2023

I wrote a post on April 6th complaining that people were apparently vandalizing library branches that had hold lockers in their lobbies, which were open 24/7. I jumped to this conclusion because the library sent out an email saying that, effective immediately, the lobbies would no longer be open 24/7 due to safety concerns. I said, "What the HELL is the matter with you people?" (meaning the supposed vandals).

I asked about it when I went to the library today, and the librarian said that nothing had happened, it was just a precautionary safety measure.

So, oops, I was wrong. I took down the post, but I know some people get the posts by email, so I wanted to set the record straight for them.

 

No Class

At the beginning of Black History month, several historically Black colleges around the country received bomb threats.

 

I don’t even know what to say about that.
