HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 16 VOL 5
DECEMBER 16TH 2007
WEATHER; COLD, WINDY, LOW HUMIDITY, 43/32 DEGREES
IT’S GETTING CLOSE, ONLY 9 MORE DAYS.
WE FINALLY GOT OUR CHRISTMAS LETTER DONE AND I STUFFED THE ENVELOPES AND CARDS WHILE MOM PRINTED OUT THE LABLES. I HAVEN’T COUNTED THEM YET BUT MOM PRINTED 40 3 PAGE LETTERS TO BEGIN WITH AND I HAD TO HAVE 27 MORE. ANYHOW WE’LL DO THE LAST 2 IN THE MORNING AND THEN PUT THE STAMPS ON AND DROP THEM IN THE MAIL! I GUESS WE’LL DO THE TREE TOMORROW!
MOM HAS BEEN BUSY ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE MAKING CANDIES AND CRUNCH, I HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING MY HANDS OFF OF IT WHEN I GO OUT IN THE KITCHEN BUT SO FAR I HAVE! MOM BRINGS ME A LITTLE BOWL OF HER LATEST FINISHED PRODUCT TO TASTE AND JUDGE, AS OF TODAY EVERYTHING HAS PASSED THE SCRUTINY OF THE JUDGE, ME!
IT SURE IS NICE TO SET AND WATCH THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS COME ON AT 5:20 PM AND GO OFF AT 10PM. WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO!
WE WATCHED 1 ½ HOURS OF “THE CELTIC WOMEN” TONIGHT FROM A CASTLE IN IRELAND! THEY ARE GOOD ESPECIALLY THEIR LITTLE VIOLINEST, SHE BOUNCED AROUND LIKE A RUBBER BALL AND WAS STILL ABLE TO PLAY! THEY DID THEIR RENDITION OF “DANNY BOY”, IT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYES! THAT WAS DANNY’S SONG! I’LL NEVER FORGET A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED JIMMY HAGEN WHO WAS A WESTERN SINGER USED TO SING THAT TO DANNY WHEN HE WAS A BABY!
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO PARK IN THE HANDICAP PARKING PLACES WITHOUT A PLACARD OR LICENSE PLATE? WELL HERE’S YOUR CHANCE! MAUREEN BIRDSALL OF LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA HAS SET UP A NEW WEBSITE; WWW.HANDICAPEDFRAUD.ORG WHERE PEOPLE NATIONWIDE CAN SUBMIT LICENSE PLATE AND HANDICAPPED PLACARD NUMBERS OF SUSPECT VEHICLES. THE GOAL IS TO CATCH THOSE WHO USE A HANDICAPPED PLACARD ILLEGITIMATELY. ABUSERS OFTEN BORROW PLACARDS FROM FAMILY MEMBERS, BUY THEM ON THE BLACK MARKET OR USE ONE ISSUED TO A DECEASED PERSON! BIRDSALL SENDS REPORTS MADE TO HER WEBSITE TO STATE MOTOR VEHICLE DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY SO BESURE YOU GET THE STATE AND LICENSE NUMBERS! SOME SAY THE SITE IS UNFAIR TO THOSE WHOSE DISABILITIES AREN’T APPARENT. SOME CALL IT AN INVASION OF PRIVACEY AND SOME HAVE CALLED IT “VIGILANTE JUSTICE.” BIRDSALL CALLS IT “COMMUNITY REPORTING.”
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS TRYING TO FIND A HANDICAP PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF HOBBY LOBBY. WHEN I FINALLY FOUND ONE A WHITE HONDA CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND TOOK IT. TEN YEARS AGO I’D OF DRUG HIM OUT OF THE CAR AND WHIPPED HIS ASS! I FOUND A SPACE IN THE REGULAR PARKING AREAS. WHEN I WALKED UP TO THE CAR AND LOOKED FOR A LICENSE OR A PLACARD THERE WAS NONE! I WALKED UP TO THE DRIVERS WINDOW THAT WAS DOWN AND ASKED IF HE KNEW THE FINE FOR PARKING IN A HANDICAPPED SPACE WITHOUT THE LICENSE OR PLACARD WAS $100.00 HE JUST SHRUGGED AND SAID “SO WHAT”! I WENT AHEAD IN THE STORE AND TOLD THE MANAGER ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID I’D HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE AND SWEAR OUT A COMPLAINT! WHEN I LEFT I WAS GOING TO WALK OVER AND SAY SOMETHING ELSE TO HIM BUT HE WAS GONE! HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT I WAS CALLING THE POLICE! THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I CAME ACROSS THIS ARTICLE AND WISHED I’D OF TAKEN DOWN HIS LICENSE NUMBER!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
