That would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately for me, even though I have a better story, they gave me strict instructions at the Earth Observer Project orientation meeting that I must keep a very low profile here for my entire 300 year assignment.

But you can ask me about my cat.

Son of Sam. The worst mass murderer the post office ever produced.

I have six cats. In fact, we gave one to a neighbor over a mile away right after it had three kittens to keep mice out of his barn and, three months later, she shows up at our doorstep with the kittens. All six now get along fine and it appears that our mole problem has gone away.

Don’t feel bad. A majority of people thought Ted Cruz was the Zodiac Killer.

Did I miss a picture of the author, David Kempler, circa 1975? What’s the point of the article with out a comparison to Berkowitz?

I used to carpool to school with the daughter of Florence Gooding, who turned out to be a serial arsonist who fled and wound up on America’s Most Wanted. Though she was an easy and habitual teller of tall tales, I had no idea that as a Merrill-Lynch realtor she would sell houses that weren’t hers to sell, and set them on fire to buy time to keep the deposit. Her husband was a school principal and all-around decent guy from what I could tell.

Just goes to show you never know.

There was a time not a night went by when I wasn’t mistaken for Harry Reems.

The movie Summer of Sam also has a character mistaken for Son of Sam. Great soundtrack, especially the chilling use of Won’t Get Fooled Again in the climactic scene where the character gets beaten up by his former buddies before they find out that the real killer has just been caught.

Guess any kind of attention is better than no attention.

I find that unlikely, as Ted Cruz was not even born when the killing started, and never lived in California. He also was never in the military, and doesn’t have a buzz cut.

Since when has such information ever dissuaded the anti-Cruzers? They’ll believe anything as long as it denigrates him.
