Or, so long, and thanks for all the monkeys.

One More for the Road - From my commute this morning:

DENVER - One person was killed and traffic was backed up in both directions on Interstate 25 during Monday morning’s commute after a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.

Denver Police say the crash occurred on northbound I-25 at 6th Avenue just after 5 a.m. They say a man attempted to cross the interstate on foot and was hit and killed by a vehicle.

Police say they do not know why the man was trying to cross the interstate on foot.

Eyewitness reports indicate that a very disheveled and nervous looking chicken crossed the road first.

Yeah, I know, this one’s going to go over as well as the Great White benefit concert post from a couple years ago.

Peace out, y’all.

Little Fiona Evelyn entered the world at 10:44am this morning - 5 pounds 13.5 oz, and 18.5 inches long. Mother and baby are doing well.

Today, that little baby girl turns five years old.

Where does the time go?

A woman who escaped a Detroit prison camp 32 years ago and fled to Southern California, where she married and raised three children, was back in custody Wednesday following her arrest last week at her Carmel Valley home.

Marie Walsh, 53, was known as Susan Lefevre in 1975 when she was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison for conspiracy and violation of drug laws, according to the U.S. Marshals Service…

Walsh, who has lived in Carmel Valley for 10 years, said her family knew nothing of her former identity and fugitive status prior to her arrest.

Walsh characterized her reformed, family-oriented ways as grounds for mercy and lenience when she faces justice again in the Midwest.

Arrested under idiotic laws three decades ago, the continuing idiocy is now going to rip apart a family and punish a woman who has long since put her life on the right track.

Hooray for the drug war!
