[Attention!  Your Weird News Will Be Delayed]

Your daily weird news editor tries to post by 9 a.m. Eastern time, but sometimes runs over by an hour or so, but today's won't be done until around 3 p.m. and maybe a little later. Reason: . . umm . . I have distractions. Plus, I don't like to post piecemeal. I like to post only after I've made my rounds and decided which stories I like the best. See ya later.

UPDATE, 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, Friday: Oh, man, am I ever lucky that I don't make any money with this blog! If I were on somebody's payroll, I'd get fired for just up-and-abandoning my post today! Fortunately for me, though, when ya ain't got nuthin', ya got nuthin' to lose. (No, wait, if I were on a payroll, I might have what people call "sick leave"; I haven't had a job that featured "sick leave" since 1980.) Anyway, I've got some news to post, and I'll start that some hour this weekend, and we'll hope for a fresh start on Monday. Cheers.

You have "distractions" Chuck? That's leaving it open to a lot of speculation by your fans, and since we all know where our minds tend to wander this could go downhill fast.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Can you believe that? "Distractions". This is our distraction.

My best friend and I like to call amusing ourselves with one and sometimes two night stands a "distraction" from being lonely. Particularly after a break up, then they're distractions from being sad. It works great!
I'm guessing that's not the kind of distraction Chuck is talking about.

Hey, it might be. Or maybe he's busy milking the cow!!

Maybe there is someone doing "distatesful" things to a blow up doll roaming his neighborhood? That would be pretty distracting.

Well, gang, looks like it didn't make much difference. Chuck didn't make it yesterday. I hope he's alright!

BTW, it's pumpkin' time at 2300hrs not 2200hrs as previously reported. Us old farts need our beauty rest too, Patty.

Not sure it has anything to do with it, but there is a big to-do here in town on Saturday. Not sure if he's involved or not. Lots are. It's gonna be a loong day to say the least. Hopefully my car survives it in one piece.

Actually I wrote that right before bed. Now that I am awake I realize that I am not even sure he lives here now.
So ignore that tidbit.
(But today is Gasparilla here)
