What song sends you back?




Summer 1976. I was a blistering 10 years old,
and it was the first year my folks let me go to the city pool alone.
I'd ride my bike down, and spend all day there,
10 minutes in the water, 20 minutes in the shade.
Yeah, I didn't choose the Ginger Life, it chose me.
Laying on a thin towel on the hot concrete
listening to KPUR 1440 AM
and my first exposure to "rock music".
This song brings it all back.
I can even hear the laughter and yelling of the kids,
splashing, life guard whistles.

I've never been accused of being appropriate

Don't eat all the meat.


Witnesses told police this week that they pleaded with Boone county resident, Audrey Ranch, 62, to stop hurting her son’s pit bull, but she refused.
“Eventually she bit Pedro’s acorns clean off right there in the front yard,” a witness said. “Pedro hightailed it screeching like a wild Indian and when I tried to subdue Audrey, she knocked me out with an old tricycle.”
Realizing the police had been called and knowing she had time to hide (it is a 45 minute drive to her house), Mrs. Ranch cut off a length of garden hose, dug a hole and had her son help bury her. She used the garden hose as a breathing apparatus.
Officers from the Boone County Sheriff’s Office arrived, unburied Ranch and arrested her without incident.
Ranch explained her actions to police: “My son ate all the meat and I had warned him if he ate all the meat, I’d eat his dog.”
The dog underwent emergency surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. Ranch is facing charges of aggravated animal cruelty.
