Just going through the motions. Definitely ending at OD#10. Maybe I'll try to do something special for it.

• The caller said her house had been egged and forked and there was toilet paper, mustard and mayonnaise all over. This was the sixth time it had occured in three weeks.The family had installed cameras after the first time it happened, 9:02am

And so it was. Don't get me started on that 5-year-old vs. public restrooms thing. I've been to that place. It's a stinking mall with lots of public restrooms. Definitely nothing to phone in threats over.

As for that whole missing bees debacle the last few years, it looks like they've been found. If anyone asks, I'm going to say the weird coyote (R.I.P.) was helping keep them in check.
