Local Newz Update
Please, anything but the Monolithic Sidewalk!!
501 becomes 250.5 (approximately). Overdue good news...for the wife, anyway. I drive everywhere so I don't give two shits.
Laura likes preserving tomatoes. I see this becoming my new catchphrase for some reason.
I'm pretty sure this used to be a crackhouse. Or looked like one.
That is all.

Shut Up And Sample
My boys Animal Collective open their yaps for PETA (well, really they shuffle their feet and look uncomfortable, as they bloody well should):
Crulity indeed.

We Ask For The Public's Assistance In This Case
At Yonge & Incurious:
Toronto police are again turning to the public for information about a missing teen after her backpack was found on Thursday outside a building near Eglinton Ave. E. and Yonge St.
"This is the first tangible item we've discovered," said Det. Sgt. Dan Nealon about the schoolbag belonging to Mariam Makhniashvili, who vanished on Sept. 14 while walking to school.
...
After questioning people in the area, police learned that Al Nezhadi, a resident living on the ground floor of an apartment building on Roehampton first spotted the bag on the lawn about two weeks ago.
But he didn't think much of it. After all, he says, students who attend the high school often cross the street to smoke, chat and hang out, routinely leaving things behind on the grass next to the building, such as baseball bats and shoes.
Not wanting the bag to get wet, Nezhadi moved it on to his balcony, in plain sight, hoping that its owner would claim it. But then it got muddy, so he moved it again after some days.
"I moved it around a few times, thinking someone would take it," said Nezhadi, adding he had not heard of Mariam's disappearance.
Nezhadi said he and his wife opened the bag and noticed it contained books and food, presumably Mariam's lunch. But they did not leaf through the books in search of a name.
Residents out walking their dog, also noticed the knapsack, but they assumed it belonged to Nezhadi's daughter, so no one took a closer look.
"I was moving it around and hoping somebody would pick it up," said Nezhadi. "And then three or four days ago I didn't see it."
That's when somebody moved the bag, about 20 metres, from Nezhadi's balcony back onto the grass, beneath a tree.

This is not a terrible album, there’s just no reason for it to exist.

Archbishop A Glass Half-Full Kinda Guy
Archbish Anthonygonish Mancini:
This can be an opportunity for all of us to rediscover what it is to be the community of faith, to realize what the root of our faith really is, and how each of us helps to share the faith.
We are going through a very painful contemporary experience of the mystery of our Faith, which is all about Passion and Death yes, but it is also about the promise of Resurrection, without which we have no future. So I call on you to be hopeful because we believe in new life and new possibilities.
Indeed.
