adventures in crime and space

I was in “Adventures in Crime and Space” bookstore yesterday, and hanging on the wall, along with several other collectible items, there was a package which really caught my eye: Death — the Action Figure. It’s a little model of a graphic novel’s character, and it’s a lot like a Barbie doll, only this version of Death is dressed in a tight corset with a little black leather whip. The Red Headed Cappy came by the trailer with her new “special friend” in tow. And she came bearing a gift: coffee. Texas Coffee Roasters “Texas Triple Roast” — a local variation on Italian Roast. Muy Excellenté. On my way home from the office and downtown, I had my mind set on a sandwich but I found myself wheeling into Threadgill’s instead, and I ordered upa plate of vegetables. The second serving of red beans and rice came with a delicious hunk of sausage floating in the stew like mix — ground up animal parts always seems to make vegetables taste better. The local humor columnist had a good point, as I read the paper, if the Gov. Bush is set on giving away free trigger locks for gun owners, those of us who don’t own guns, what do we get for free?
