The latest news coming out of my former place of residence, Manchester, NH, is that a man, dressed as a tree, attempted to rob a bank. He did not do such a good job of disguising himself though, as a surveillance camera caught his image. Someone who knew him revealed his identity and he was arrested.

That incident should be written down somewhere, for posterity, (in the Guinness Book of Records?), don’t you think? It could be used as a demonstration model to teach children what NOT to do, if thinking of committing such a crime. Or else, a statement could be made that “Crime doesn’t pay,” and here’s proof.

The media is having a heyday with this one. Of course, the bank was a cheap cialis canadalocation. “The police were cheap cialis canada.” You get the drift. In sharing this story with quilters, perhaps I am “cheap cialis canada up the cheap cialis canada!”

Seems like the town where I grew up is going to heck in a hand basket with increased crime: stabbings, prostitution, shootings, muggings, etc. Situated just thirty minutes up the road a piece, the city where I currently live is virtually crime-free. Mostly all of the (7,000 or so?) criminals who live here are behind bars at the State Prison. We haven’t heard of any attempted bank robberies recently and hope to keep it that way. I must say that dressing up in tree branches is a creative approach to the task of bank robbing, but perhaps not one that will “catch on” any time soon, as it didn’t work.

Let’s hope the next person we see with tree branches encircling his head will be some poor soul just trying to celebrate Halloween!
