A thoughtful criminal....

From the Observer Reporter's police beat on May 13, 2006:

CANONSBURG
Apartment entered: Christine Henderson, 119 W. College St., told Canonsburg police Thursday that her apartment was entered. The burglar drank a few beers, tidied the apartment and left with a case of beer.

I'm wondering if I put a large ad in the paper if he will come to my house.

The Dreaded Science Project

Alex is in the middle of his 5th grade science project and of course being the child he is... he decided to do the problem of which bridge design is the strongest. A wonderful project, right? Wrong..... guess who had to assist and design the bridges. Flashbacks to my mechanical drawing class at McGuffey. And go figure ... building scale models of bridges out of small, round pieces of wood is not easy. I glued my fingers together more than once... and still am peeling glue off the ends of them. Well anyway... here are some of the finished products. I'll put pictures of the final display on when it is done. Oh by the way.... We now are doing a social studies project and he wants to build a model of the Alamo!
