Such a sad day to remember - I recall feeling like someone had punched me when I learned of his murder death...

Not a whit, we defy augury: there’s a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he
leaves, what is’t to leave betimes? —Hamlet

Augury must not be confused with the act of drilling a hole in the ground with one of those twisty things.

It was snowing and I was going slow as molasses but I made a new friend and we saw a group of deer. A good day.

Here’s a real winner:

http://triblive.com/news/westmoreland/3573401-74/agosto-justicia-wanted#axzz2MJJyt6KP

A Greensburg man walked into the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Department for a concealed weapon permit on Wednesday and left with an escort of deputies.

...

Authorities charged Agosto-Justicia with taking the tires and rims off a 2012 Ford Mustang rented from a Hertz dealership and then putting other wheels and rims on the vehicle before returning it, according to court papers.
