More oddities in observations

I got lost going home yesterday (not the point of this story but, yes, an oddity in and of itself, and related to very winding roads with tall trees and few cross-streets as I was looking for an alternate route to avoid traffic.) Ummmm... anyway, Observations from yesterday:

First -

So, yes, I was driving... randomly... and ran across a lovely and exclusive-looking neighborhood on a ridge with a big rock entrance wall announcing the name of the development: Gunshy Ridge. I thought that was a weird name until I drove down the hill and came to the next cross-street with another sign for yet another, adjacent, development - Hunters Glen. Those poor folks in Gunshy Ridge!

Second -

Having spent hours trying to get home, we decided to just go out for dinner -and went to our local "Teriyaki " place (our little town is FULL of Teriyaki places - go figure) for, you guessed it, Chicken Teriyaki. While waiting for our food and sitting at a table in the small dining room, we noticed that the kitchen, with its open door, had several pizza delivery boxes from Dominos Pizza. They know better than to eat their own food? (We enjoyed it anyway.)

Third -

Browsing the internet after I got home again, I ran across an article about a 90 year old 'mobster' who had been arrested. Maybe the reporter was getting much of his 'background story' from the police blotter because the details provided of several past parole violations (which resulted, previously, in arrests and jail time for this poor gentleman) were of the cookie-cutter variety of where the person was at the time of his arrest, who was he with, what was he doing... And in each case he was in violation of the order to not associate with 'known criminals.'

The article went like this: "He was jailed for three years after a November 2000 meeting at a coffee shop with three Colombo family associates. Another time, he spent two years behind bars after federal agents watched him enjoying a bowl of spinach soup with mob associates at a restaurant." I suspect that the reporter was feeling a little foolish - because he added, to an otherwise serious and professionally written news article, this:

"No details this time on where Franzese had violated his parole or what he might have been eating or drinking at the time."
