I always feel like
somebody's watching me ... or is just fantasy ...
Echo was watching out of curiosity and because we were playing outside and he wanted to be a part of it.
What we might have had, but didn't
This is a hospital helicopter ... no one needed for Sunday.-- photo shot couple weeks ago, midafternoon at a local park
realistic, my foot!You'll shoot your eye out
Charlie got a bow & arrow set, one arrow broke early
A loosed arrow into the sofa. I insisted that it never be aimed at the living ("people and puppies")
blunt points make for slow arrows
Monkeyjack devised shooting at the pumpkin
and so he tried,
and tried,
and finally hit it, though the arrow bounced off and went farther than he was standing
Someone foolishly let this guy have the bow & arrowMost excellent
State plans to establish protective order registry
From The Associated Press
EVANSVILLE — Indiana plans to use a federal grant to establish a protective order registry, which will link courts to police data to try to ensure information in the orders is entered and available immediately all over the state. Gov. Mitch Daniels and Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall T. Shephard announced the state has received a $259,000 federal grant to create and fund the plan.
Protective orders sometimes would not be available to law enforcement officials for days, which is “unacceptable and too dangerous to continue,” Shephard said in a news release.
Once the registry is running, copies of new orders that go into the system will be faxed to local law enforcement agencies, ensuring all are immediately aware that a protective or no-contact order has been issued or revoked.
The orders also will be registered with the FBI’s
Candice Perry, the legal advocacy program coordinator for
“I think the majority of people we come in contact with are unsure with how the protective order will really help them,” Perry said. “We try to educate them on what it does and what it doesn’t do.”
Clients often say they have been told the protective order is “just a piece of paper.”
“We are very realistic with them that it is a piece of paper,” said Perry. “But it’s also a first step that gives law enforcement the ability to do much more for them.”
Perry said the new registry could ease concerns some clients have when traveling between counties.
Never constant
folks resting after a short walkYesterday, it was warm, the sun and light clouds were soothing. The autumn colors were beautiful. Thomas and Marcus put on yet ANOTHER rod. Thomas was clever enough to yank the last one out of the wall. In his defense, the metal sheered in half, not really pulled out of the wall. The bar, like the others was a nusance to put into the wall. It took parts, tools time, and a drill bit was broken in half.
Later, the folks went out for a walk in the nice autumn weather. It isn't supposed to stay nice for all that long, so today was the day. We three ate orange roughee for dinner and then the folks watched the Ugly Dachshund, an old Disney movie.
In the evening, for no particular reason, Thomas took out the blood pressure monitor and took his reading, then Lois' and found that Lois had a heart rate in the 40s. Despite taking it several times, it was always low (a few times in the 30s). Since she's had heart problems, heart attack history, we got to see the emergency room last night. We were there for two hours, then Lois was discharged with a 24-hour heart monitor.
It was determined that she had non-symptomatic bradycardia (slow heart rate without any symptoms). It is likely that some of the medicines that she's taking are now at too high of levels and are pushing her heart rate down too low. Well, they'll determine what they will do later.
....
As a side note, while the entire staff that night was nice, congenial and friendly, they had -- bar none, the most effeminate male staff. The EMS guy there (though Mum was driven to hospital by myself), had a voice higher and odder than Pee Wee Herman. The doctor who was working was about half as effeminate and the registry guy was slightly less than that, but good golly! I guess Lutheran wanted to keep them out of the more typical public eyes or something? I applaud their promptness and quick work to get her out of there shortly after midnight.
Feeling no pain, Mom gets patches to monitor her heart functions 11 somthing at night at hospital.
