Nice run on the Logan River Trail with the kids on their bikes.  We have had kind of a dead spot for six months of running together since they grew too big for the double running stroller.  Now finally they are fast enough on bikes to keep up.  I'm looking forward to a year of them going with me.

 On a non-running note, someone has been egging cars and houses along our neighborhood for a month now.  It's taken me several hours if scrubbing a few times and left permanent marks on things.  Basically as soon as you clean them off they do it again.  Anyhow, I installed motion activated infared cameras this weekend and lo and behold it's one of the neighbor's 21 year old son and his friends.  One of those can't move out of the house kind of kids.  The Officer taking the report says this vandalism charge would go on his permanent record so I should think twice about pressing charges.  Been thinking this through today...

The officer suggested you think twice about pressing charges against someone who committed a crime?

If he was 15, it would be one thing. But the kid (who should be an adult) is 21. You know better by that point.

I will delete that once I know you have read it.

Ha Ha! Yeah, I read it. I agree. You know, I don't have a problem with fun but I have a hard time understanding the vandalism against others just to please yourself. Lots of old, retired folks along our street and I just think it takes a special kind of loser for this sort of thing. Maybe it would do some good to have to sit before the judge..?

Here's what I suggest. In return for you not pressing charges, the young punk should agree to do a certain amount of work around the house and yard of every person who's property he vandalized for about a year. His parents should agree to it in writing.

Perhaps he can be sentenced to being your butler..

This sounds like an Adam Sandler movie, with Sandler playing the kid, and Will Ferrell playing Steve.

Chad, love the Seinfeld reference!
