When in doubt, when something that happens and it sounds sorta far fetched, I rely on good ole Occam to come to my aid, pull out his razor and slice off some clarity: There is more evidence here for an illicit encounter gone wrong. That is the most likely answer. Paul knew the guy, said on the 911 call that he was a friend and he knew his name, etc. Police get there and that is when Maxwell swings his Silver Hammer? Hmmm, OK.

As I was sitting in the SFO terminal, the word was that there were three people there and I was saying it was a "threesome gone wrong." That still might be the case. I think the popo's are backing away from the "third person in the room" thing. And, as today goes along, I really think that the actual truth will never come out and that it will quickly get buried in the "local news story" catergoy since The Very Online couldn't pin this one on the real enemy, MAGA.

Why was I in SFO? Well, I went to Berkeley for a sporting contest twix some Ducks and some Bears. Generally speaking, any sort of matchup involving Bears and Ducks does not end will for the Ducks. But, the Ducks have a guy named Bo, and they got the better of these Berkeley based Bears, so that was nice.

Traveling from SFO to Berkeley, I was able to take in some of the local color that one can ascertain from the window of a train. SFO is god damn dump in most places, IMO. There is no way I could live here, no way at all. No, no and no.

Jim, you've lost the Hallowe'en spirit. You need to have a magical encounter with Garfield the cat and learn that it was inside you all along.

Unless is bursts out of your chest and morphs into a giant, corrosive-blooded Democrat that kills us all.

I hate to say it, but Halloween is another "chore" of a holiday like all the other ones that require me to work. Halloween - gotta buy a bunch of costumes me or my family will wear once for work/school, gotta hand out candy for trick-or-treaters or take kids trick-or-treating. Thanksgiving - got cook a big meal, host family, clean up and eat the damn leftover for a month. Christmas - don't get me started. This time of the year is the worst.
