Gimme that CRAB!

Earlier this week a semi truck was loaded with 25k pounds of King Crab, it's destination - the pacific northwest.

The driver and his papers were in order, just a regular haul.

Then he went missing, along with the loot estimated at $400k; nary a trace.

Somewhere out there, perhaps in a parlor or a private eatery there are some very pleased members of an organized crime family. $400k in street value crab, buckets of drawn butter, a giant fucking feast and surely a lot of smiles (probably some bibs too).

Let's just hope the driver keeps his mouth shut.

Today's act of kindness

Today the door bell rang and initially it startled me, as it does everytime the door bell rings and I'm not expecting someone. It was a couple who had been walking their dog and noticed that the lights of my courtesy ride*, a bitchin' 2008 Mazda3, were still on.

I didn't know people did things like this. Not, um, anymore i guess - this is fucking 2011, right?

Someone went out of their way, took their own time, to knock on a stranger's door, knowing they might have the wrong house, to save someone the inconvenience of a dead battery. Would they have knocked on my neighbors door? The duplex across the street? I will say "yes", they would have ... and that pleases me greatly.

I thanked them, played it off as if it wasn't a big deal, waited for them to leave and went to turn off the lights.
