769...More Fun In Framingham Mass

Norman Miller of the Framingham Daily News is now my favourite writer.

He has this nice piece where he reports that Amarildo Da Silva, who I always thought was such a nice boy, was arrested Thursday for offering a woman 20 dollars for sex. The woman, who, if you must know, was panhandling outside the CVS Pharmacy on Concord Street, was looking for the United States equivalent of a Toonie when Mr. Da Silva made his magnanimous offer.

Mr. Da Silva, of no fixed address, was released on his own recognizance and told to return to court mid October.

Good luck on that by the way. Good luck.

767...This Is Why I Don't Hide Meat In My Pants

Norman Miller in the MetroWest Daily News yesterday had a story that gives credence to my long held view that hiding meat in my pants is not a good idea.

Last Friday night in Framingham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, the police were chasing an armed robbery suspect when their police dog's nose lost the plot when it was drawn to the scent of stolen raw meat stuffed in a homeless man's pants.

Bad luck for Edward Brown, a 48 year old who admitted that he had just lifted the meat from the Super Stop & Shop at about the same time a Shell was knocked over in the same neighbourhood.

Mr. Brown was charged; the armed robber was not caught.
