Bees and Bee-loveds

[captainsblog]

Not much to report from today- day two of the Huuuuge Sale produced exactly two dollars of revenue and the mysterious disappearance of all three of Emily's main-drag posters- so I'll just do a mini-photospam from the past week:



The Catch of the Day at Williamsville's Solé restaurant Tuesday night; we ate on the patio and were joined by any number of yellowjackets, three of whom wound up in upended water glasses caught by my lovely bride Eleanor, alias "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you stung my father, prepare to die."

I had no luck at all catching any of the beasties, although I did come up with the slogan for their eventual re-use on the Solé menu:

Bee- the other yellow meat.

I did say that the oldest cat was gonna fall in love with Zoey, didn't I?  (Yeah I did.)  I'd have put the over-under on it at a month or more, but here they are, less than four weeks in:



Yes, that is a kitten on his right and your left; black cats are notoriously hard to photograph, and she's in a strrrrretch position that makes it even harder to figure it out. Already she looks like she's gonna be a tall grrl; Esmeralda, who she resembles slightly in body but muchly in heart, was also long and lean. At least Zoey doesn't have to worry about shopping for jeans that fit.

No picture with this last one, other than a use-your-imagination image of a dimly-lit bulb, but our nearby suburbs had a taste of Manhattan night life the other night as a Lancaster redneck attempted his best imitation of former New York Giant receiver Plaxico Burress:

A road-rage incident late Wednesday night in Lancaster led to a scuffle that ended when one of the combatants pulled out a gun and accidentally shot himself in the leg, Lancaster police said today.

The man who was shot was scheduled to undergo surgery in Erie County Medical Center, but police said the wound was not considered life-threatening.

Detectives believe the incident started at about 10:30 p.m., when someone reportedly cut someone else off in traffic on Ransom Road. A chase ensued, involving two individuals on motorcycles and one in another vehicle.

A short distance away on Ransom, at least one of the motorcyclists and the motorist confronted each other, and the motorist pulled out a gun.

"The one male points the gun at the second male," Capt. Timothy R. Murphy said. "The second male punches him in the face. As the first male is falling backwards, he discharges the gun and shoots himself in the left leg."

Police have not identified either of the combatants, both of whom are in their 20s.

Unspoken, but still near-certain, is the famed police blotter conclusion, "Authorities suspect alcohol was involved."

I have now seen your lovely bride! :D

The place of rednecks in this region is Blountville, the Sullivan Co. seat, about 15 mintues from where I live. Most news casts in the Tri-Citiues begin with the worlds "A Blountville man..."

She made the dress, of course. And possibly the earrings (sorry, hon, but I can't remember EVERYTHING).

Dress and earrings, both. And thanks, you two. But don't I have the weirdest, snarky expression on my face?
