random misfirings
~Michael Jackson innocent??? *boggle*
~I forgot to put suntan lotion on my left arm when I was at the beach with Paulette. I think I did one arm, got distracted and thinking I needed to do one more arm, did the same one again, not realizing I already did that one and not the other. Hurty hurty!
~Last Friday, Joe and I met up with the beautiful Redpanda and her boy Sean for some yummy Redbones BBQ. We had a great time--very cool people they are. We didn't end up going to the Redbones Underground, but you should check it out--the puzzles section is nifty.
~The other morning I was getting ready to enter my code to the gym parking lot and there was a sign saying to watch out for the turtle! So I punched the code in and drove through and sure enough, a huge snapping turtle was moving super slowly across the parking lot. I parked and got out and stood a little ways from it. It tucked its head and legs mostly into its shell and just sat there. Crazy big huge turtle it was, with a nasty looking beak. When I came back out an hour later, it had only managed to move about 15 feet. I imagine that people kept stopping to look at it. Poor turtle. There is a stream next to the gym that I'm sure he wanted to get to.

No, he is not innocent. He just was found NOT GUILTY of the crimes brought against him
I believe, as one of the lawyers involved commented, he probably did molest some children at some point. Just there was a reasonable doubt that he was not guilty of perpetrating the crimes alleged against him by these particular "victims."
In other words, this woman, mother of the kid, and her family, colluded to get some money off of what they perceived was a real problem, i.e. Michael Jackson's weakness for young boys. In a weird way, they are to be both credited for bringing the problem to the public's attention, but also possibly blamed for trying to profit from a tragedy involving other children and this sick actor.

Aww! We had a fab time as well--I am just too lazy (or, really, stressed!) to blog about it. I will just use YOUR blog. I'm such a user!

As a child, I was such a HUGE fan of the gloved one. What scares me is that as I got older, I started to feel like there was something strange about MJ. It's just sad that all of this has come to light.
