oh, morning call, how i have missed you?

it just occurred to me that i have not checked the morning call all week. it's sort of like forgetting to brush your teeth before you leave the house. i mean, you do it everyday, it's part of your being, you don't even think about it, but then when you realize you didn't brush your chompers on your way to work, it seriously shakes your sense of being and self. 'i should schedule an mri or cat scan or something,' you think as gently imagine your life without a frontal lobe. anyway, we are back on track now. whew, you can stop panicking. i read the morning call, so you don't have to.

i'm not saying anyone should have seen this one coming, but opening a candle shop in the lehigh valley drastically increases your chances of fire destroying everything you have worked so hard for. i know the owners really were making a go at a serious business and everything, and this is a tragedy, no doubt, but really crime and bad news in the lehigh valley is like god's personal ironic playground. the 600lb anvil will fall from a transporting plane onto the acme building. irony in the lehigh valley crime/bad news scene, well, it just goes hand-in-hand.

see what i mean about irony: woman hit in eye with bb. it's like the christmas story mom is the puppet master in the lehigh valley and everyone is living out her worst fears. "don't leave that candle burning, you will burn down the whole store." "don't play with that bb gun, you'll shoot your eye out."

christ, it's like a cartoon in the lehigh valley this week. man hit in head with frying pan during robbery.

hooters air flight ends with passenger in handcuffs. not for the reason you think, though.
