I have no book. This is akin to going past your due date, when expecting. Tomorrow, I get book.

In the meantime, people are still crazy:

Man disguised as tree robs bank
July 8, 2007

MANCHESTER, N.H. --A weekend bank robbery involved multiple branches -- of the leafy variety.

According to police, a man with tree branches duct-taped to his head and torso walked into a Citizens Bank just as it opened Saturday morning and demanded cash from a teller. Police said the disguise was the most bizarre they'd ever seen.

"He really went out on a limb," Sgt. Ernie Goodno said Sunday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, just for that I hope they don't catch him.

They did, but I kinda love the cop for saying that.

Always Anti-fascist!

That cop's life is not gonna be easy, either. I suspect some kind of forest ranger nickname in his future.

Maybe. Although the ultimate cop moniker belongs to a retired LAPD detective nicknamed "Jigsaw" because not long after he joined the detective squad he found and identified a woman from...the pieces. In 1948. The old guys still call him that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dana, you know I'd take his side in the argument...

That was some tennis. Exciting enough watching from a distance on time delay. Some tennis.

I'm 40. I'm too old to even try to be a cop now, aren't I?

Rock stardom may be beyond your grasp as well.

My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.

Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.
