2 Laclede Gas utility workers were just shot to death in a random shooting this morning. Sometimes I find this city hard to take.

Someone was musing about Matt Carpenter's beard at lunch today. I told them he converted to Islam. They were horrified. I never told them any different. Sorry Matt, your fan club probably lost one today.

Re: Random musings
My firm represents a lot of cities, some big, some tiny. Last night I was acting city attorney for one of our small ones, which means I drive out to their city hall and sit in on their city council meeting to answer any legal questions that come up.
The meetings always start with a prayer/invocation. I knew it was a bad omen when the local minister in attendance was wearing a Cubs shirt.
And sure enough, God was displeased. 10 minutes into the meeting, we had to adjourn because a bat had entered the chambers and was flying around buzzing everyone's heads. I come to learn this is not a rare occurrence. So much so that the city keeps a net there specifically to catch bats. The assistant city manager, a sweet lady of about 60 years of age, ran around swooping the net trying to catch the bat, which she successfully did within just a few minutes. The bat was taken outside and freed.
Lessons: 1. Always go to small town city council meetings. 2. Never allow a prayer to be given by a person in a Cubs shirt.

Good thing they didn't sacrifice bunt, either, which would have been throwing that bat away.lukethedrifter wrote:Really glad to hear they didn't kill it.
