As I said, xs has been MIA so far this morning, hard at work I imagine. Class is open, she will be around to grade you soon enough. Have at it.

Run a search in your local newspaper with the key word ‘embezzlement’ and you will be amazed at all the people ‘peculating’ from you villages and cities — even the churches and charities. Outrageous.

I know someone arrested for embezzlement. Sad. We have several cases. One at a bank and one at the local boys and girls club. I predict more of this.

Morning! It is still sunny here. Cold, but sunny. Yesterday, I went out in a 3/4 length sweater as my coat...today, I think not.

When the star of “To Kill A Mockingbird” wandered onto the set well past the scheduled time, the director shouted “peculate.”

The deer are peculating my grass!

It's lucky that we had a thaw over the weekend. The authorities found our missing hristmas visiting man.

hristmas=Christmas

His Packer hat was spotted on the ice, and the dive team found him in the creek under the ice. The temps have dropped again. If no one had reported the hat, they wouldn’t have found him until spring. My heart goes out to his parents.

We have known of few folks who were caught embezzeling too - so sad. One was from a children’s baseball league and the other owned a “big name” investment firm and he got a slap on the wrist and allowed a family member to continue working the business while he “retired”. Such a sham - he should have been locked up.

I was in denial about my friend, but she plead guilty to a felony. She could get up to 30 years. A slap on the wrist? Hmm.
