Burrito Boy Terrorizes School
I think the boy got off light. I’ve had burritos that could be classified as dangerous weapons. They sell microwave burritos that can gas an entire car full of beach-going friends, and they should be outlawed.

The news was agog over faith and politics mixing this weekend on “Justice Sunday.” I sort of heard it was coming, but I paid little attention. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist was scheduled to speak, and the news media dredged up every voice they could find to say that it was wrong to mix religion [...]

Day 1 of the Downstairs Remodeling Project is complete. Three more weeks to go. Today, Rocky ripped out the downstairs fiberglass tub, the toilet (to make room for tiling), the old walnut wainscotting in the living room, and the ancient walnut built-in cabinets that hold family games and knick-knacks. And the contractors uncovered $1000 just [...]
