Dateline - WARREN, OH

Police interviewing a woman about a murder suspect got quite a surprise when a squirrel popped out of her cleavage.

The woman, who was wearing a tank top, gently pushed him back in and continued the 10 minute interview.

"No, I was not prepared to see a woodland creature in the interview room, said Det. Wayne Mackey of the Warren Police Department.

"I just kept right on talking to her, listening to her. I really didn't acknowledge at all. I really didn't know what to say."

To which I can only add.....

The woman was released before interviewers were able to confirm reports she also had a beaver in her pants.

Bread "Lost Without Your Love "

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay
I wander through the night
And search the world to find
The words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see
That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real...
And someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break
Yes I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin' can't you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more

Yes, I had it hanging on my bedroom wall in the day.....

I had an appointment yesterday in OKC and decided that I would go early and take some pictures at the Oklahoma City National Memorial to replace the ones lost in the great hard drive crash of 2009. I wanted to be there for sunrise but was late. No matter, no clouds so sunrise was a little boring.

I do love that low angle morning light though. So I walked around the Memorial and then around downtown for three hours, got some exercise and some nice photos (I like them anyway....)

I was just walking through the Memorial looking at colors and textures and the reflecting pool was as smooth as a sheet of glass. I turned back around and there was a duck standing in the pool. One duck, alone standing in the middle of the pool. As I watched he started walking away from me. I shot a few pictures and something caught my attention and I turned away. When I looked back at the pool the duck was gone and didn't even leave a ripple in the pool.

That has got to mean something, what, I don't know.

I only wish the people involved with the Memorial in New York could take a lesson from what was accomplished in OKC. Serenity, remembrance and resolve for the future. What a wonderful testament to those that died and those that suffer their loss.

What a great place downtown OKC has become. Last time I spent any real time downtown was when I was small at the bus station with the "End Of The World" guy.

In most every town I spend any time in, I notice the homeless. I have especially noticed the homeless with dogs. They can barely feed and cloth themselves yet they find a way to care for their dogs. The need for companionship by humans is only rivaled by the same need in dogs. When I returned home and viewed these photos I noted that the dog is wearing a "Service Animal" collar. It was dirty and faded and obviously was found in a pile of discarded possessions. It was a lonely man's attempt to allow his only companion an opportunity to travel freely with him as he battles the heat and cold of Oklahoma.

There are about two hundred more but this is all I have time for today.

So this ain't the end -
I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun -
Kisses for real
And tales - it never fails!
You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down down down down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, barracuda?
Back over time we were all
Trying for free
You met the porpoise and me
No right no wrong, selling a song-
A name, whisper game.
If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?
Sell me sell you the porpoise said
Dive down deep down to save my head
You...i think you got the blues too.
All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!
If the real thing don't do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

DG took a message for me today while I was out snapping some photos.

I came back and she handed me this message

Reggie

aba√t Jetta

XX1-233ð

You think I am kidding... here is the message (I blurred the first two numbers on the off chance that you could translate this message and call Reggie. Why you would do that is beyond me but DG said I should hide his identity. I thought she had done a really good job of that already.)

Now keep in mind we operate an import auto repair and parts business.

DG can spell so I don't know how "about" became "abaut" but she hates to take messages so she just kinda does it. That and I think she wants me to come to her office so she can look at my nice manly butt.

So being the kind of guy that wouldn't want to disappoint, I go to her office and ask, "Honey what's up with this message?

She looks at me and says, "Reggie called something about a Jetta."

"Honey, what about the Jetta and is it one that is here or one that is coming in", I ask patiently and with obvious understanding of her hatred of message taking.

"Reggie called about a Jetta.... then blah...blah...blah something about a car.", she replied beginning to sound annoyed.

"Thanks dear, you're the greatest, Reggie is lucky to have had you take his message, I will call him right now." I said as I turned and walked out of her office.

"Hey", she called after me.

"Yes?", I asked.

"Your saggin', pull  up your pants ... you know you have no ass to hold them "....

Thanks allot Reggie......

I would climb any mountain
Sail across a stormy sea
If that's what it takes me baby
To show you how much you mean to me
And I guess its just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
Youre all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
Feels like the very first time
It feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
I have waited a lifetime
Spent my time so foolishly
But now that I've found you
Together we'll make history
And I know that it must be the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
Youre all that my eyes can see
And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like weve opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again, never again
Feels like the first time, it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time, very, very, it feels
It feels like the first time, oh it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Open up the door, won't you open up the door? yeah
Feels like the first time
And it feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
And it feels like the first time
It feels like the very first time
Oh it feels, it feels like the first time
Yeah it feels like the first time
