A sobering thought... and Happy New Year!

A Bend bender: I'm so riled up over the story about the Bend woman who led police around on a drunken driving escapade on Christmas day, then did it again a few days later. It's not the first time. Although the linked article below doesn't specify this next fact, it was reported on the local news last night that she has already racked up 62 DUIs this year. Say WHAaat? If that's true -- even if the number is a lot less -- would someone please put this witch in jail and throw away the key? BEFORE she kills someone? If she's averaging 5.16 DUIs per month, when does she ever have the time to work and earn $10,000 for bail (each time?). Probably someone else caves in each time and writes the check. A lot of money gone to waste. Not to mention taxpayer dollars for police services, judges, jail, and everything else.

Ugh. Shake it off. Shake it off. 2009 can just go away, please.

Please be happy -- and careful -- tonight. Bend has good cab service. All it takes is a phone call.

Happy New Year, everybody!

[later: I realized this all sounded a little too righteous, especially considering we're a store that happily passes out our own delicious Pometini (etc.) recipes -- serves 'em, too, sometimes. Big distinction between enjoying and overdoing... now I'll get off my soapbox.]
