| BOWDOIN — Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department detectives arrested Christopher Evans, 30, Tuesday, on charges of cultivation of and trafficking in marijuana. According to Chief Deputy Jay Manhardt, the detectives searched Evans' 625 Litchfield Road home and allegedly found 24 two-foot-high marijuana plants, 1.5 pounds of processed marijuana, paraphernalia, digital scales and weapons. "We estimate the street value of (the drugs) to be in excess of $4,000," said Manhardt. Evans posted $5,000 unsecured bail and was released Tuesday, according to Manhardt. Manhardt attributed the arrest to the department's increased collaboration with other law enforcement agencies and a stepped-up focus on drug abuse prevention. "This bust was a joint effort, as so many of them are, between (the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency), the Kennebec County Sheriff's Department and the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department," said Manhardt. "It's part of the sheriff's department's ongoing aggressive effort to combat drugs in Sagadahoc County, and it's been very successful for us. ... If you're a drug dealer in Sagadahoc County, we probably know who you are, and it's just a matter of time before we come for you." The chief deputy said that while Tuesday's Bowdoin arrest was publicized, many more drug arrests are not, "because they lead to better information and often other cases." |

My Cousin's Kid Makes the News

Ramblings....
Ok. 30 some dead at Virginia Tech. President Numbnuts has to run and save his sinking poll numbers. Then he says that "We're all Hokies". Now, I know it's a solemn moment. I know you need to say something to reassure the nation. (Biggest gun murder in the U.S. Thanks NRA) But this is that whole "Dallas is America's Team" type of bullshit that I absolutely abhor. Yes, we're incredibly saddened by the events. No, we're not Hokies. Sorry.
A lot of talk after Columbine centered on how we could stop events like this from happening. "Pay attention.", "Tell someone in authority if someone is suspicious." You know the drill. "Dime out yer buddy.", "Be the Thought Police." I don't agree with these things because they smack of the Nazi state.
However, in this case, a teacher/professor who possessed fiction writings from this student went to University authorities AND the police. I guess they'll look into it now. I looked at one of the plays he wrote. Besides being....bad.....you can tell that there was some serious shit going on with the kid. I read another blurb online where two students were talking and didn't know who did it yet, but said "I thought it was Cho right away." There's always that guy running around.
I believe that things like this will happen. It's incredibly sad, but inevitable. Especially given our large planetary population.

George wants the flags at half mast. Shame that he doesn't respond like this and actually attend a funeral for any of the troops he's had killed.

Don Imus was fired this past week. He used the phrase "nappy-headed hoes". I tracked this when it happened and I was pretty sure how it would go down. First there was a big stink raised by the members of the offended community who usually raise the stink. (Rev. Al, Jesse) This was a no brainer, it always happens. Imus went on the Sharpton show and seemed genuinely contrite.
Then the Rutgers players had a press conference. I did not see it, but everyone who did said that they carried themselves very well. Another nail in his coffin, but still not a huge problem.
Then the sponsors started to go. P&G, Amex.....THAT's when I knew it was over. You can do damn near anything in this country, say "I'm sowwy", and get away with it....UNTIL the money starts to leave.
Personally, I listened to Imus a few times when I was in my Stern phase. Howard hated him and I could see why. Bigotry aside, the man mumbles and is basically uninteresting. But that's radio, stay there long enough and they have to pry you out.
I'd like to see some of the Clear Channel gang head for the door next.
In an unintentionally humorous side note. The Governor of NJ was on his way to mediate the meeting between Imus and the Rutgers team and was in a traffic accident. He was pretty banged up. Not wearing a seatbelt. So, the guy that does the PSA's saying "Wear Your Seatbelts, Kiddies", wasn't. The two troopers with him were, and they were relatively unscathed.

Band is in hiatus until June. I'm giving them till Halloween to play out, then I'm off for greener pastures.
-------------------------------------------
That will give me lots of time to work on the basement project. This will be a big weekend. Hope to be 95% dejunked and ready to start ripping stuff out. AND......we may get to babysit the Granddaughter on Friday. We went over Sunday night. Had some pizza and enjoyed their company.
Billy is starting to work as an apprentice for a stone mason. Anybody need stonework or concrete countertops???
Big things happening for Mike. I'll let ya know soon.

Just a Little Bit of Help.....
......can go a loooooong way.
On Saturday, Toby, Melanie and Ava came out. Toby agreed to help me move some stuff into the trailer. They were only here about 2 hours. And of course, there had to be some granddaughter quality time. So he really only helped me move a few pieces. A couple of computer racks, a home entertainment center and the seats for the old van. But those few large pieces opened the floodgates.
By the end of Saturday we had 2/3ds of the garage area cleaned out. We could have moved it all but we're having company over the weekend and some of that stuff has to come upstairs. We also got the area cleaned out where the theatre will be.
Sunday we did even more. Pulling up (moldy) old carpet. Moving tools and hardware, etc.
I worked Monday, but took today off. We continued pulling up carpet and moving stuff out to the trailer. A small miracle occurred when I was able to start the tractor on the first turn without jumping it. I also got the snowblower running and took that down to the barn. It was 77 degrees here this afternoon so, of course, they're calling for snow showers tomorrow nigbt. :)
I'll try to keep you posted
