A Lovely Sight; Update On Our Bandit

A beautiful sight greeted me as I glanced out the kitchen window this morning: a sunrise regatta taking place across the sound. It was such a peaceful sight & one of the reasons I continually thank my lucky stars that I live here. In fact, I'm sure it was a bit too peaceful for the participants since they were getting very little wind, even with spinnakers.

Our island bandit has been returned to Seattle to face charges for his Washington State crimes. Oddly enough, we got more information about him from the New York Times than we did from any of the local papers. When you think about it the way he turned out was hardly surprising given the way his harlot of a mother brought him up. Not only did she abuse him, she rarely fed him, so he got an early start breaking into houses & stealing food. And now she wants to cash in on all of this by signing a book and/or movie deal. Pretty pathetic.
