In a phone interview with Larry Bloom, the Westminster street department superintendent at 6:45 pm, he said that the Westminster crews started working on clearing the city streets at 11:30 pm the night before.

Even Jeff Glass, the city of Westminster public works director is out plowing. He asked that city residents please stay off the streets as much as possible to give the crews some time to get the streets cleared.

It began snowing in Westminster Maryland around 11 PM the night before. I got up at 4 am to go to a fire company Christmas breakfast. I hesitated to go out. By 5 am I had decided to go back to bed. This was what I remembered that I saw at 5 am. http://tinyurl.com/yaz6qba http://twitpic.com/u99fj

(I received this in an e-mail from a reliable source. Yet, nevertheless, I did go about attempting to verify it in anyway. If the e-mail is not real, then it needs to be…)

Shhh...Special Insider Stuff.

Police Harassment

Recently, the Chula Vista Police Department ran an e-mail forum (a question and answer exchange) with the topic being, "Community Policing."

One of the civilian email participants posed the following question, "I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people and get away with it?"

From the "other side" (the law enforcement side) Sgt. Bennett, obviously a cop with a sense of humor replied:

"First of all, let me tell you this...it's not easy. In Chula Vista, we average one cop for every 600 people. Only about 60% of those cops are on general duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we do most of our harassing.

The rest are in non-harassing departments that do not allow them contact with the day to day innocents. And at any given moment, only one-fifth of the 60% patrollers are on duty and available for harassing people while the rest are off duty. So roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5,000 residents.

When you toss in the commercial business, and tourist locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 10,000 or more people a day.

Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives a cop one second to harass a person, and then only three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is not an easy task. To be honest, most cops are not up to this challenge day in and day out. It is just too tiring. What we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people which we can realistically harass.

The tools available to us are as follows:

PHONE: ... People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code phrase used often. This means we'll come out and give somebody some special harassment.

Another popular one is, "There's a guy breaking into a house." The harassment team is then put into action.

CARS: ... We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars with no insurance or no driver's licenses and the like. It's lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, they are drunk, or have an outstanding warrant on file.

RUNNERS: ... Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer. Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours.

STATUTES: ... When we don't have PHONES or CARS and have nothing better to do, there are actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called "Statutes"; Criminal Codes, Motor Vehicle Codes, etc... They all spell out all sorts of things for which you can really mess with people.

After you read the statute, you can just drive around for awhile until you find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy trying to steal a car. Well, there's this book we have that says that's not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy. It is a really cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well.

We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away with it. Why? Because for the good citizens who pay the tab, we try to keep the streets safe for them, and they pay us to "harass" some people.

Next time you are in my town, give me the old "single finger wave." That's another one of those codes. It means, "You can harass me. "It's one of our favorites..

Tiger Woods was a busy guy

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren briefly pose for a photoshop moment as the blond bombshell moves out of the marital home after being shell-shocked by serial accounts that Mr. Woods may have given as many as nine private golf lessons as to how to use his putter with a casting call for a reality TV show. – Artist-Photographer unknown – probably in hiding… Larger: http://twitpic.com/srqr0

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2009/12/tiger-woods-was-busy-guy.html

By Kevin Dayhoff December 8, 2009

It appears that golfing great Tiger Woods may have been a busy guy in recent years. According to an article by Sophie Tedmanson in the Times (UK,) “More woes for Tiger Woods as his wife Elin Nordegren moves out” - Larger: http://twitpic.com/srrlz

“[I]t is alleged, “Woods, 33, has been linked to up to nine women - including a British television presenter – since it was first reported he crashed his Cadillac into a fire hydrant outside his home on November 27 after reportedly arguing with his wife.”

“Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.” (There’s more from where that one came from – go here: http://tinyurl.com/yhgeaq8.)

The latest revelations begs the question, when did he ever have time to play golf?

Ms. Tedmanson writes, “Days after the crash Woods was linked to a New York night clubber, other women – including a Las Vegas party girl and a Florida waitress - began to come forward, selling their stories to tabloids with tales of trysts with Woods….”

Is this nuts or what. Have you seen pictures of his wife? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. What could have he possibly been thinking? Or was his putter doing the thinking for him?

According to a December 7 article in the Times (UK) by Jacqui Goddard, “Best man speech could draw Tiger Woods out of hiding”:

“… [T]he golf champion [is alleged to have had] trysts with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess, including flying her to Melbourne for a secret rendezvous with Woods during the Australian Masters last month…

“Holly Sampson, a porn star, today became the seventh woman named as having had an affair with Woods, who has been married to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model, since 2004.”

Perhaps that explains the mysteries behind his car crash into a tree and a fire hydrant in the wee hours of the morning of November 27, 2009 – The man was delirious with exhaustion.

“Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron." ibid)

Of course, having a five-iron stuck up his behind did not help to improve his driving ability at the time.

Larger: http://twitpic.com/srr0c

Meanwhile the Boston Herald’s “Inside Track” – “‘SNL’ battered over spoof of Tiger Woods spat” - is reporting that “Anti-domestic violence advocates beat up on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” yesterday for a skit poking fun at reports that Tiger Woods was hit with a golf club by his enraged wife, Elin Nordegren.

“‘There’s nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place,’ said Rita Smith, president of the National Coalition for Domestic Violence . ‘It diminishes people’s support for victims of domestic violence.’

“Woods, who has been accused of 10 extramarital affairs in the wake of a car crash outside his Florida home Thanksgiving weekend, was skewered in the skit that featured ‘SNL’ regular Kenan Thompson, playing the golf great, and guest host Blake Lively as his angry Swedish wife.”

Whatever, I hardly ever watch Saturday Night Live and find very little about the otherwise popular late-night TV program to be funny.

But you know – the whole sad saga of Mr. Woods' fall from grace by his own Shakespearean personality defect just really isn’t funny.

It is not even just sad – it is a disappointment. It is disillusioning - it’s pathetic and probably a sign of pathology.

Is it more important than the rate of unemployment, the economy or the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? No.

Do I care? Nope.

However, looking at the bigger picture, the gentleman has a social contract with his fans, especially the younger fans, to live-up to his public persona and be the person with the integrity to be a pitchman for various products.

And just as important, what about his responsibilities to the game of golf. He has been the gold standard for the sport. In his star capacity, he has attracted many young players – and viewers – to the game. This cannot be good for golf.

In another Boston Herald piece; this time by Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa, “Face it, Web full of Tiger Woods’ bad lies,” they introduce Mr. Woods:

“Just two months ago, fairway philanderer Tiger Woods told his loyal Facebook friends that he and bride Elin are basically a ‘boring’ couple, a pair of homebodies who like to hang on the couch, watch TV and play video games.

“Ummmm, might be time to update the old profile, Tiger.

“‘I think Elin and I have avoided a lot of media attention because we’re kind of boring,’ wrote the world’s greatest golfer, who is now accused of a string of tawdry liaisons with - among others - a porn star, a cocktail waitress, a Vegas club hostess and waitress in a pancake house.”

Ouch!

It will only get worse. Perhaps the next shoe to drop will be folks selling the tabloids pictures of Mr. Woods in compromising positions in an unflattering context?

Meanwhile, one may only imagine how many more women will come forward alleging to have played with Mr. Woods in the sand trap. (Porn star Joslyn James brings the number of women linked to Tiger Woods to 11 FOXNews; Meet porn star Joslyn James or 'Tiger Woods' alleged mistress No. 'This is so ...)

And one wonders how many of his sponsors will keep him on: Gatorade ends Tiger-themed drinks, says move preplanned USA Today - Michael McCarthy - ‎1 hour ago‎ AP By Michael mccarthy, USA TODAY The first dent in Tiger Woods' gold-plated endorsement portfolio appeared Tuesday as Gatorade said it was dropping its ...; Tiger Woods: Below-par sales doom Gatorade's Tiger Focus Chicago Tribune; Gatorade drops Tiger Woods product FOXNews; Tiger Woods ads disappear from airwaves Boston Herald; and the Wall Street Journal (blog)

As far as his marriage; according to Ms. Goddard:

“The couple are believed to be talking with lawyers over the future of their marriage, after Ms Nordegren discovered that he had been cheating on her and allegedly chased him from the house brandishing a golf club - a confrontation that ended with Woods crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a tree at 2.25am on November 27.”

In the latest installment of this Kabuki theatre morals drama from hell it appears that the sporting magazine “Golf Digest” believes that Mr. Woods ought to embark on yet another tour – a speaking tour about how to multi-task one’s career and marriage; all the while becoming one of golfing’s greats...

Golf Digest has featured Mr. Woods in its upcoming January 2010 edition with a cover headline, “10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger.” Larger: http://twitpic.com/srs5w

At this point, we certainly hope the president is not taking any advice from Mr. Woods because once First Lady Michelle Obama finished with him, having a car crash at 2:25 am would be the least of President Obama’s worries and our great nation would probably be looking forward to how President Joe Biden would solve our nation’s woes.

Ms. Goddard calls to our attention: “The episode has left Woods’s image as a clean-living sports icon in tatters - lending irony to the front cover of Golf Digest magazine’s January issue, which went to press before the sex scandal broke.

“The magazine features a mocked-up picture of Woods acting as caddie to President Obama, to illustrate an article headlined ‘10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger’. The feature, now causing some embarrassment at Golf Digest, suggests that the President, struggling to turn around a recession, could learn the art of ‘the quick recovery’ from the famously adept golfer.”

“‘Woods is a good role model...because he has always been able to pull himself together after setbacks,’ it notes, also observing:

“‘Woods never does anything that would make himself look ridiculous.’”

Several published accounts refer to “The Kinks: The Official Biography,” in which Ray Davies explains that the inspiration for the song was an incident in which the band’s manager, Robert Wace, had spent the night with a transvestite. (Bummer dude.)

“I remembered an incident in a club... in his apartment Robert Wace had been dancing with this black woman, and he said, ‘I’m really on to a thing here.’ And it was okay until we left at six in the morning and then I said, ‘Have you seen the stubble?’ He said ‘Yeah,’ but he was too pissed (intoxicated) to care, I think.”

Yet another reason to not drink upon such occasions…

I once wrote a short story about a transvestite I ran across at the old “Whistle Stop” grocery store in Patapsco, Carroll County, Maryland. At the time it was owned by then-Westminster Mayor Leroy Conaway.

It was a scream.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRopmfinsWk



I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

An article in the Telegraph, 'Marry an agricultural engineer for best chance of avoiding the divorce courts,' highlights the results of a study which indicates “Vets, agricultural engineers and teachers are all less likely to divorce than dancers, bartenders and nurses, according to research which claims your job is key to a happy marriage.”

The study does not mention the chances of breaking-up with an artist or a writer. Of course, I am sure that is probably because we are such stable folks.

According to the article: “Those who work in the caring professions or who have jobs that are extrovert and stressful are more likely to split from their partner.

“Dancers, choreographers, massage therapists and bartenders have around a 40 per cent chance of experiencing a relationship breakdown. But also at high risk are nurses, psychiatrists and those who help the elderly and disabled.

“However, optometrists, dentists, clergymen and podiatrists are all in occupations which carry a 2 to 7 per cent chance of family breakdown.

“Agricultural engineers were the most faithful of all, with their relationships suffering a breakdown rate of less than 2 per cent.

“The trend has been highlighted in a paper that correlates occupations with divorce and separation rates, to be published in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology.”

It was really busy earlier and the traffic is tapering-off. I’m looking for a corner to take a nap – well, maybe not. Whatever, come by and visit.

Great place to buy Christmas and Hanukah gifts from local (starving) artists.

Although I did eventually venture out in the snow to go to the festival of Wreaths at the Carroll County Arts Center and had dinner with sister and her husband, Grammy, Mrs. Owl; this was my predominant view of today’s snowfall, from inside the house looking out.

Although I really enjoy photographing snow; I don’t understand snow. I don’t do snow.

I did this piece in September 1994. The more things change the more they stay the same. At some point, the entire manner in which local government in Maryland is funded needs to be changed so that all our tax revenue does not get lost in a black hole in Annapolis and gets re-directed to the government that is closest to the citizens.

POTUS address to the nation 8 PM From West Point USMA

We did not ask for this fight. In Sept 11 2001 we were attached.

History lesson on Afghanistan

NATO Article 5 The attack on nation is an attack on us all

1st applause 8:05 PM on withdrawal info from Iraq

Discussion of March initiative in Afghanistan

Defensive about the time it took for review of our Afghanistan strategy

30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan

~Establishing a nexus of national defense lies with Afghanistan efforts

~Disrupt dismantle

~Deny safe haven

Pursue military strategy Contributions from our allies Withdrawal in July 2011 consistent with facts on the ground

Civilian strategy The days of providing a blank check are over.

Linkage with Pakistan US and Pakistan share a common enemy

3 core approaches military civilian and partnership with Pakistan

1. This is not Vietnam 2. We cannot do what we need to do with our current force level 3. Timetable necessary

Transitioning to a discussion of the economics of the war effort. That’s why our commitment cannot be open-ending

Numerous use of “let me be clear,” yet I think that there has been no use of the word “unprecedented”

Waxing poetic about the strength of out nation and our values Indemnifying and justification as to why we fight in Afghanistan

2nd applause at 8:29 PM

3rd applause 8:31 PM Of the people by the people for the people

4th applause after plea for unity.

POTUS finished his speech at 8:33 PM
