Michael, the Tech Spl@ guru, sent me a link to userfriendly.org.
I give it a three on the time-wasting scale. Somewhere you can totally lose an hour of your life.
(IMDB would be a five… it’s like a labyrinth in that place… just got to see one more actor… just got to look up one more obscure movie… one more…)
Last week some putz spray painted the mural at Painter’s Pond.
The DeLand Police worked to find out who this putz is. The DPD was successful. In part, because the putz wrote his name on the wall.

To be fair, the kid was 19, and I know I wasn’t too bright at 19. But… I might have been a little brighter than that. Just a littl.
(Dudes, nothing funny about domestic violence. That’s my standing disclaimer.)
The pets being fed was worth hitting your sig other? Training your dog, worth hitting your partner?
Really?
Because in my list of things that make me want to turn into a flaming idiot, the pet food and pet training, yeah it’s way low.
Socks stuffed in the couch? Wet towels on the bed? THOSE make me nuts… (and that so stinks because I’m the one who does those things.)
People can really be motivated by some odd stuff.
Today just cracked me up.
I mean, this was really no more extraordinary than any other pot-head bust. It was the way the deputy wrote it.
HE STATED THAT WAS NOT HIS CLOSET
Yeah, when the defendant said it wasn’t his closet, that’s when I laughed out loud.
It reminded me of getting caught by a parent with something you shouldn’t have. “No, really, mom, that’s not mine… it’s uh… it’s my friends?”
I laughed again when the defendant said the closet was broken, and the deputies explained it was almost open.
“Oh,” said the defendant.
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!
Check it out.
From Deland Police Logs, March 2, night shift
Police info — Victim reported that she believes people are breaking in her house and moving things to drive her insane.
I knew this stuff happened! I freakin’ knew it! I look and look and look for stuff, and it’s never where I put it. I’ve been blaming those hooligan kids Not Me, I Don’t Know and I Didn’t Do It (oooh, if I ever get my hands on those three, they’re so toast!), and lo’ it’s not the trouble trio at all! It’s someone else breaking in and moving things.
Well, it works.
I’m insane.
