I had the FUNNEST lunchtime today, y’all. 

I returned to my former place of employment and got to enjoy some quality, :cough: Christian fellowship with my Shishter….my old boss and another former co-worker. 

The Nashville Israeli community invites all to participate in a Yom Hazikaron: Israel Remembrance Day commemoration. It begins at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7 in the West End Synagogue East Chapel. The memorial service will be followed by an Israeli-style Yom HaAtzmaut celebration starting at 6 p.m. It will include a kosher falafel dinner and music.

Miriam by Gold Key Winner Elizabeth Mauldin.

My heart broke when I saw the photo of Sheriff Itchy's love interest, Ms. Verbena, getting off the train. The time stamp showed her leaving the boxcar just two minutes after the squirrel jumped (or got snatched) and, if Miriam was sending the photos in sequence, just seconds after the opossum waddled his way down the stairs.

As Sheriff Itchy listened to the opossum recount his overblown coffee order, he rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, for the love of God." Then he caught himself and turned to Mr. Jesus (the action figure) and said, "No offense."

"None taken," the Neoprene Nazarene replied.

"Enough with the chit chat," the opossum said. "Sheriff, Ms. Mayor, slowly set down your guns and put your hands in the air. Mr. Jesus (the action figure), please join your friends."

Sheriff Itchy and I studied the photo Miriam had just sent us.

"What do you think spooked that squirrel and made him jump off the stairs like that?" I asked the three-legged law dog.

"We don't know that anything spooked the squirrel."

"That squirrel is three feet up in the air!"

Sheriff Itchy held up his cell phone so I could see the screen. The area around the entrance to the cave by the river was shady, so there was no glare. We could easily make out the photo Miriam, the head Neliganville CSI, had just sent--the second photo from the camera Ken gave me right after his pompadour got pecked.

Before we had a chance to go into the cave, the text message alert on Sheriff Itchy's cell phone beeped. He read it and said, "Miriam is getting ready to send me the photos they got off of Ken's camera."
