This is cool! The proceedings of The Old Bailey online. From 1674 to 1913.
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, I really do need to put together that zombie apocalypse preparedness kit.
Speaking of preparedness FAIL, I just ran out of dairy product for my coffee.

Us too! I am about to make a milk run. Can I pick up some half and half for you?
Sure!
Thanks
A search on "pickpocket" at the Old Bailey site turned up many interesting cases. Here's one.
Theft > pocketpicking, 1st June 1677.
The next was a pickpocket who on the 2. of May seeing a young maiden dancing with the Milkwoman made shift to steal a box and 21 shillings 6. pence in money out of her Pocket, and according to method, forthwith delivered it to a boy his Confederate, who immediately ran away and is not yet taken. But our young practitioner was not so much Mr. of Art as to perform the Exploit clerely, for he was both perceived by the Girl, diving in her pocket and seen by another deliver away the prize, so that he was found Guilty.
"Not so much master of art..." - heh.
So far hurricaine season has only given us come cool waves and a little rain. It's a relief.
Do not taunt happy fun weather.

Heh. Well, it peaks on the 10th so less than a week to go. I know stuff can still go down after that but with any luck R and I will not be riding out a storm while she's in my care.
Fiona was swallowed up by Earl. Gaston seems to be just a wave now... fingers crossed.
So far, a successful pace run (despite vicious heat, i.e., 75 degree temps) and much playing around with my new GPS watch/program. Now to pick up the house for a friend's visit and then brunch and gay BEACH!
