"Why are you looking among the dead for the living? He is not here. He has been raised."

Dad turned 80 on Sunday. We had a family celebration at a local restaurant. The whole family was there including the first great-grandchild; Connor. It was a great day...Thank you University Hospital!

HUA

Two more cops have been hit by an HUA driver. There are now more cops injured or killed in traffic accidents than by gunfire.

Last year Ryan Nagy of the Middleburg Hts. PD lost his leg and almost his life because of a driver crossing over two lanes of traffic and ramming into his cruiser as he wrote a traffic ticket. Earlier this year an Ohio State Trooper was hit in a similar accident. One of our guys got hit while directing traffic around an accident. He got hit by a woman who evidently didn't see the two police cars, and the two-car mva in the intersection. Now, last night two Bratenahl officers got clobbered by an 18 wheeler.

Last summer I had several close calls myself...One teenage driver didn't see the construction equipment, the police car or me in the middle of an intersection and almost clipped me. One drunk driver just shouldn't have been on the road, almost hit me. One irrate idiot aimed at me. At an accident scene one driver just didn't think he needed to slow down as he swerved around the wreck, the tow truck, the ambulance and three police cruisers. Several elderly drivers just plain got confused when they couldn't use their normal route to get to the Giant Eagle store...so far I have been lucky.

I have an idea...hang up the phone, put your make-up on at home, read the paper at your breakfast table, leave the radio alone, have sex in bed, quit smoking, and slow down. A cop's job is dangerous enough without having to worry about getting run over.

Oh yeah...HUA: Head Up Ass

more news

It just keeps on keepin on...

Now TV news is reporting a study that is linking grilling meat to cancer. Of course, this is not the lead story. It is just the "tease" throughout the evening. The lead story has to do with a stray dog.

Does anyone want to send me some money to fund my study? I believe that watching TV news can lead to permanent brain atrophy.

This just in...

Here we go... This evening's news report ( on Newschannel 5, or Power of 5, or whatever WEWS in Cleveland is calling itself these days) included a story reporting that people are using their cell phones.

WEWS reported that people are doing business on their cell phones, calling friends, calling for information on directions, entertainment, restaurants, etc. They reported that this is indicative of a society wide "cell phone addiction". There was a time when this was considered market saturation. Evidently, it is far more serious.

So, here is some news that I feel it is important to report...

The National Institute of Highway Safety reports that people are driving their cars from point A to point B.

The Food and Drug Administration reported today that people are utilizing refridgerators to keep food cold.

The City of Cleveland Water Treatment Plant is reporting that people are utilizing toilets as a depository for human waste.

The list goes on and it is terrifying. Duan Puelman and the I-Team better get going on this before society as we know it comes to an end.

I would like to write some more, but I have to admit, I am so addicted to using my cell phone, I am getting light headed and experiencing stomach cramps. I must get to my cell phone and dial someone, anyone...
