Turkey in the Road

The other day on my way to work, I crossed over into a parallel universe as I do everyday driving the 2 miles from Rocky Neck to downtown Gloucester. This time the evidence was a man crossing Main Street. As I slow down to let him continue, he comes to a dead stop smack in front of me. So he could light a cigarette. It was kinda like today, driving home from church on Rte 133, there were TWO wild turkeys stopped in the cross walk. They did not move as I drove up to them and passed. It didn't occur to me until later, duh,  they were probably lighting a cigarette.

There are just some product/service ideas that simply were invented by silly buggers for silly buggers. This is one of them.

So this guy robs a bank wearing a fake beard and sunglasses. The bank is in a plaza which, BTW, backs up to the police station. He grabs a cab and takes it about two blocks when he jumps out, runs in the front door of a law office and out the back door, which puts him behind an 8 foot  fence in the parking lot of another bank, which he has to jump over. Security footage shows him stopping a car coming through the drive-through and saying something to the driver. And then he runs off. Police soon nab him at the train station waiting for a train.

First of all, I am not making this up, I swear. Second, I work in the second bank, and I can tell you if we had a customer wearing a fake beard and sunglasses no one would even  to look up. I mean, we have free coffee. Third, his getaway is a cab and public transportation? Fourth, this is his MO--he was wanted for a similar crime in New Hampshire.

Playing Silly Buggers

I have twin nephews who are now 25 years old. From an early age right up until now they are always playing silly buggers. Once when they were about 12 they came back into their coastal Mass. house with something wiggling under a towel. They had waylaid a seagull and let it loose in the house when they went to look at it. They had two Boston Terriers and a pug who all joined in the ruckus while the bird flapped frantically all around the living room until my sister opened the front door and it flew out.
