Returning home from a recent mission in Columbus , Ohio ,
I found this saintly 18th century, Georgian Colonial home exalted by a gently
rolling pastoral hill. The once graceful
architectural style of this edifice was condemned by the sinful construction of
a room addition on the south facing wall and a portico to the east. Unfortunately
the renovations, which were too glaring to passover, crucified the resale value
of the once divine home with idyllic views. I have faith that the homeowners
will have a revelation and convert the home to a condition that bears witness
to its original glory.

Will Secure Intermittently
The U.S. Government's Y12 Nuclear weapons facility located in
Oak Ridge , Tennessee has been closed temporarily, following a
security breach that allowed three protestors to gain access to the inner
perimeter of the weapons-grade uranium warehouse. Among those arrested and
charged with vandalism and criminal trespass; an 82 year old nun! The security
firm WSI Oak Ridge, which I have determined stands for Will Secure Intermittently, is subsidiary to G4S,
the international security firm responsible for security at the London
Olympics.
Now, I'm just curious; how lax does security have to be for
an 82 year old nun to breach, not one, not two, not three, but four security
fences and then proceed to amble about the premises for 2 hours, before
reaching the uranium storage building?
We have been assured, by "officials" (whoever the
heck they are) that this facility is equipped with "modern security
features"! Exactly which chain link fence are they referring to as
modern security? Additionally, these same officials tout "the contents of
the building were not compromised". LOL! Not due to any security measure
employed at this facility, but rather because the three protestors had no
intentions of breaching the building. They merely hung crime scene tape and
banners! Had Marty McFly or Dr. Emmett Brown been in need of uranium for the
Delorean's flux capacitor (the time machine in the movie Back to the Future), I
am certain that compromising this last barrier would have been no trouble
for the young, agile, high school student and his mad scientist friend.
