Judge Anthony Drummond and the interim county director of CPS Amos Weatherford, the two newest board members of the Lost Boys Trust, arrived at the Farmer House just after four. The contractors who were repairing the damage were just putting away their tools and equipment to knock off for the weekend. They had made remarkable progress. The rubbish from the collapsed walls and rooms had been removed to dumpsters waiting at the curb to be collected. Framing was up and was already covered with

For your meritorious administration of the site, I posted a 1st look in your honor.

I read that three more books are on contract and have been since 2007

I just finished David Weber and John Ringo's Prince Roger series. https://johnringo.fandom.com/wiki/Empire_of_Man It's a fun read and an interesting coming of age story for a spoiled prince who is challenged to rise to his station. DEATH TO THE KRANOLTA!

>>Dyspepsia - (noun) - 1: indigestion; 2: disgruntlement Interesting. Those are two entirely different definitions. Usually, they have something in common. If you were to use the word, you would have to provide contextural clues as to which definition you meant. I can't decide whether the cause of my dyspepsia was the cafeteria chimichanga I had for lunch or my new boss. They both make me want to fart.

If you think girls are bad about preening, wait till you get a load of middle school boys working on their hair in front of a mirror.

Sorry. Rotel is a brand name. It's a mixture of tomatoes and chili peppers. It is spicy and is found in lots of interesting things. Use a can plus a hunk of Velveeta cheese in a small crock pot, and you've got a great dip for parties. Yum. https://www.amazon.com/Ro-Tel-Diced-Tomatoes-Green-Chilies/dp/B00I9VCLOU

Many Protestant denominations have a wonderful tradition called Dinner on the Grounds. That alone is enough to give you religion but, I digress. It's often held in late summer or early fall so the bounty of farms and gardens can be shared with friends and neighbors. Many a little old church lady... ...will don her blue wig and show off her best recipes. This is why there are no anorexic Baptists. If you would like a taste of this heavenly goodness without the associated hymns and prayers, some of these recipes are so easy a heathen child could make them. Heathen Child Maw-Maw's Casserole for Dinner on the Grounds Ingredients: 2 cups of Minute Rice (white or brown) 2 Cups of Water 1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup 1 Can Cream of Onion, Celery or Chick- your choice 4 Green onions chopped 1 small can of mushrooms 2 cups of medium cheddar cheese (use one, save one) 1 pound of shrimp peeled OR 1 pound of chicken sliced into small pieces (Note: that's OR, not AND) 1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning 1 Can of Rotel Tomatoes 1/2 stick of butter Three pieces of bacon, crumbled One large Mixing Bowl One 9 X 13 Casserole Pan ____________________________________ Instructions: 1. pre-heat oven to 400 degrees (F) 2) grease or use Pam on the Casserole pan 3) In the mixing bowl add 2 cups rice, 2 cups water, 2 cans of cream of whatever soup, 1 can Rotel, 1 cup cheese, one Tablespoon Creole seasoning, green onions, mushrooms and 1 pound of chicken or shrimp. 4) Mix thoroughly and place mixture in Casserole pan creating a flat and even distribution. 5) Cut butter into thin slices, place on top of the casserole. 6) Place in oven and cook at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. 7) at 50 minutes, remove the Casserole pan from the oven. 8. Place 1 cup of cheese on top of Casserole and then crumble the bacon on top 9) Cook and additional 10 minutes. 10) Remove from oven. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving. You can vary this recipe a great deal with different kinds of onions, bell pepper, you might even substitute half of the meat with cooked sausage. It's so good, it's almost a religious experience.

How about a badge for not being a jerk and getting banned for... many years. That's kind of an achievement. Something like this...

Time flies when you are busy and having fun. Phillip was busy with the Barracudas, getting ready for the upcoming lock in and having fun with his charges. What the younger Barracudas needed was stamina and Phillip addressed that with weight training. Swimming and weight training did not often travel together, but Phillip had seen an article that piqued his interest. The theory was to use light weight with many repetitions to build endurance. After their main practice in the mornings,

In the August Mississippi heat, I'd like to eternize the time between mowing and working in the yard, but if I don't do it once a week, or I'll have a jungle.

Phillip arrived a few minutes after one thirty and parked in the big lot behind the courthouse. It was a complex of several buildings on a beautifully landscaped campus. There was the ornate old courthouse, complemented by a new Justice Court and a Youth Court in separate buildings. He rushed to the Youth Court building and entered glass doors into a big lobby. He instantly spotted Richard and his dad, Miles Dannager, Wally Garner, Marty Oswald, Mr. Campbell and several other men he did not

This is the Eagle Nebula. It is otherwise known as M-16 or "the Pillars of Creation". As a star forming region, it has long been studied. The Hubble's images from the nineties have given us a better look at it than ever before. We can now see structures that no telescope ever before could resolve. This gave us a chance to see these gems. All of these artifacts are gas, dust, multiple stars in the process of formation and their interactions. The Demon is five major stars forming and, probably, a dozen more we can't see. The Sleeping Cat is formed by hot stellar winds interacting with cold nebula gas. Hooters is formed by two big, bright stars and numerous smaller pre-stellar objects. Fred is two newly formed stars and a cluster of stars for the nose. A dark nebula forms his mustache. Sadly, this region is thousands of light years from here and no longer looks like this. Much of the gas will have burned off and the infants stars will be further along in their life cycle. It really is a glimpse at creation as we are seeing new worlds being born. -JS

Chris Butler, in the company of Sandra Hammond, a therapist the police department contracted to interview child victims, picked up Rochelle Green and Elizabeth Cummings at their apartments at eleven-thirty. Once they were all situated in Butler’s SUV, Sandra said, “I’ve had a chance to read the interviews of Tyrone Flowers. You should know that, even white-washed, it was clear to me that the boys were blackmailed and intimidated into sexual activity.” Elizabeth Cummings said, “I knew

The feeling is Palpable that all Hollywood is capable of are flaming dumpster fires of franchise killing rubbish.

Stacy Scott rolled her chair back from her computer and rubbed her eyes. She had no idea what had been on the CD until she put it on her computer. Then it was obvious. Farmer’s journal of his hunt for the serial killer had been scanned into PDF files by the year. It was spectacular. Once Stacy started, she could not stop. Charles Farmer had been brilliant and driven in his search for David Wayne Allen. This was not just another story. There was a book in this. Probably even a movie. Sh

We lost a great teammate. I still miss Green and Lacy. 🥺

Stacy Scott sat at the same table at IHOP that “Billy” and Pops Bridges had sat on Sunday morning. It was a half hour before dawn, so the restaurant was essentially empty. She had not finished her cup of coffee when her brother Brad and Sergeant Rex Daniels entered and were ushered to her table by a server that provided the new arrivals with coffee, menus and took their orders. Brad and the Sergeant sat across the table from her. She noticed that Daniels looked exhausted, with dark cir

Candy apple red used to be the glossy color we put on hot rods.

The Task Force, such as it was and what there was of it, amounted to Deputy District Attorney Karen Callahan, her staff, Rex Daniels of the Youth Division, and Chris Butler of Homicide. District Attorney Perry had been informed that a serious investigation was quietly under way. Those that knew what was actually going on was held very close, so the principal investigators had to do a lot of work in a very short time. Ray Daniels suggested his wife Velma take their daughter to her Mom’s for

Casey had supper ready to start when Phillip got home. The grill was warmed up, hamburger patties in the fridge, and everything ready to kick off. As Phillip put the burgers on the grill, he thanked his lucky stars for Casey Dubois! He was a lot of help getting the hoard fed. It was a reduced hoard as many had departed to spend Sunday night at home but, his core was still around. Billy Jackson, Johnny Gray, Sammy Lewis, Ryan Johnson, Matthew and Jon-Jon Green were playing in the poo

I'm a Don Henley fan from way back. Some "dirty laundry" is about to go out on the clothes line for all to see.

Pops and Billy pulled into a beach-front resort hotel in Wilmington after a long, frustrating drive hampered by intermittent rain showers, road construction and traffic. Pops drove the Harley to the office and checked in. He had made reservations, confirmed with a credit card, so the process was quick and painless. In a matter of a few minutes, they were in a suite overlooking the inviting blue-green surf of the Atlantic. Pops was exhausted, but Billy was curious to explore. He put on some
