Local Crooks

According to the Oct 11 local paper:

Dewanna C. K. was at Fairhope Police dept for an interview about outstanding traffic tickets. When departing, she left behind a drinking cup. Officers were puzzled when she returned shortly and 'demanded' the return of the hot drink. Officer Ben Taylor opened the lid and found a plastic bag w/ crystal meth and a glass pipe. She was charged w/ unlawful possession of controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. IDIOT.

A Foley woman initiated a solo crime spree using a brick to smash the windows of local businesses. She was arrested after breaking out the glass front door of Victor's Food Mart. After her arrest, Ms. Goodwin stated that she "had hit all these stores and it was about time they caught her" according to the deposition on file in District Court. She is charged w/ 3rd degree burglary, 2nd degree criminal mischief, DUI, obstructing gov. operations and resisting arrest. IDIOT.

Hey, I thought you moved away from Memphis to get away from the crime! At least they weren't car-jacking people at school parking lots, which seems to be the crime of choice these days in Memphis, just behind murder.

This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Web Slang

Today I ran across a term that i didnt know (YOU probably DO), "420 friendly" ....but thanks to the remarkable internet, one can do a search and become enlightened immediately. The term "420" and its attendant traditions date back to the 1970s, but at least some evidence exists -- enough to convince any stoner, at least -- that the term has experienced something of a resurgence in our electronic times. On message boards and community sites across the Web, it's possible to find people who are "420 friendly," meaning that they'd love to meet you and smoke your dope.
