    Coincidence that all this violent activity comes just as all these new blogger carpetbaggers come into town?

    I don't think so.

    The short bus was seen speeding away on St. Elmo, heading towards Arlington, on early Saturday morning.

    Weren't you at Summer House last week Dyer? I'm pretty sure where I'd start looking for the thief.

    How does one person just embody everything that is wrong with the world - its an amazing feat I'll grant you that.

    12:24 Yes, but you've proven quite consistently that you're not very reliable a thinker.

    More likely it's a part of Hansy's efforts to reinvigorate the local night life ... or die trying.
