Mrs. Paddy’s church runs some low-key programs for low-income and homeless people. The programs are low-key because they don’t want the neighbors to complain or the city to take official notice (the city knows and even sends a homeless liaison to help connect people with services, but there are probably code and zoning issues). One of these programs is their shower ministry. Twice a week, for 2 1/2 hours, the homeless can come and take a shower and get a late lunch. Yesterday, one of the guys waiting to take a shower was found dead on the sidewalk. When Mrs. Paddy called 911 the dispatcher asked “Are you refusing to perform CPR?” She had to explain that the body was already cold and CPR wasn’t going to help.
Mrs Sven wanted to tell me about some hawks she saw flying around the neighborhood earlier today, but what she said was “I was watching these whoring socks circling above the park.” I must have looked at her funny and she repeated about seeing the “whoring socks.” I asked if it were like a line of sweat socks waiting for a dress sock and then she realized what she said and corrected to “soaring hawks.” Pretty funny.

Happy Tuesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven!
The cat probably wants to steal the milk from the baby. We all know cats have no shame.

I’m sorry Mrs. Paddy had to find the body and miffed at the dispatcher’s use of the word “refuse.” Prayers for the deceased and Mrs. Paddy.
Thanks, Sven.

Good name for a band.
