I'm coming on strong during the home stretch, getting three tax returns to review yesterday (two is a good day and I generally get the hard ones). Let's start of the day with another good dog story:

I love stories about people giving themselves to others or animals.
From a good story let's go to one of questionable ethics which is a little different than what I have, flexible ethics.

I think it was unethical for the officer to buy slippers with his uniform fund because the chances of him using slippers when performing his duties is pretty small. However, I think he should have gotten a written warning and a one day suspension not a firing.
We all love dumb criminal stories so let's end today with one:

WHO AM I?
I am an author that was born in 1893 and died in 1970. I was also a feminist and pacifist. I was born into a well-to-do family and had an uneventful childhood. I delayed my college degree after one year in order to work as a V.A.D. nurse for much of the First World War. My fiance , two friends and my brother were all killed during the war. At age 32 I married a political scientist and philosopher. My first book was when I was thirty-nine. In the 1920s I became a regular speaker on behalf of the League of Nations Union. I was a practical pacifist in the sense that I helped the war effort by working as a fire warden and by traveling around the country raising funds for the Peace Pledge Union's food relief campaign. I was vilified for speaking out against saturation bombing of German cities. You really should think about a TESTAMENT TO YOUTH, because that will help you answer the question, Who Am I?

Lovely story about the dog rescuer/photographer. I do admire people who do things like that. As to the cop, it's hard to say without knowing a bit more, but it does sound like a vendetta to me. And leaving your mug shot at the scene of a robbery, well, there is no end to the stupidity of criminals, is there?
Loved the article about the photographer and the rescue dogs. Forwarded it to Maryanne, who is a very good photographer and loves animals, especially dogs. It always good to see someone helping.
Like Pat and the attorney, the cop story sounds like a vendetta issue to me, a long held grudge. I hope the cop appeals and gets his job back.
The dumb criminal. Once again, you just can't fix stupid.
Hi Pat
I love people that go the extra mile and the photographer was one.
I also think it is a vendetta against the cop but it also goes back to the cop doing something unethical when he knew he was being watched and that is incredibilyy dumb.
If I were to rob someone I would hope I wouldn't leave my picture at the scene.

Hi DR
Thanks for sending on the dog/photo story to MJ I didn't connect the dots or I would have. S
It was a grudge agains the cop but the cop still acted unethical and gave the ammunation for his suupervisor to use against him. I wonder if he didn't do that on purpose to bring it to a head.
