- Justin Sollohub, a police officer in my old hometown of Anniston, was shot and killed in the line of duty yesterday. God be with his friends and family.
- Looks as if several million folks are going to get an earthquake and a hurricane in less than a week.
- Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple yesterday, but sounds like he’s going to hang around. It’ll be interesting to see what effect, if any, this has on the arrogance in Apple’s business model.
- It’s almost impossible for a modern vulgar comedy movie to be both funny and an effective morality play. Hall Pass is an excellent manifestation of this assertion. There are a couple of decent laughs, but mostly it’s just tedious.
- The only movies of this sort I’ve really enjoyed have been There’s Something About Mary, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and The Hangover. Honorable mention for Role Models, mostly for Jane Lynch. I think I’m going to stop trying to like them. I’ll give one a shot in the future only if the word-of-mouth is uniformly through the roof.
- Did you know that portobello mushrooms are the same species as common/white mushrooms, just more mature? I didn’t until yesterday.
- “Cops say that Howard, 59, was having difficulty controlling the auto because he was simultaneously driving, drinking a beer, and having sex with his 53-year-old female passenger.”

At least he wasn’t texting.
The last few weeks have been very sad for our communities. Thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Sollohub’s family, friends and co-workers.
I have yet to talk to my brother, who lives in VA Beach, to see if he sustained any damage from the earthquake. However, I’m more concerned about the hurricane and it’s impact as my brother and SIL live less than two miles from the beach.
The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. Geez!
So sad to hear of the officer’s death.
My son is supposed to be flying from Jacksonville, FL to NYC on Sunday for a month long training with Deutsche Bank. I’m thinking that trip will be delayed.
Wow, Howard is quite the man, eh?
