This week's drizzle hasn't kept things from being interesting on Bainbridge Island, as reported in the local paper, the Bainbridge Island Review. But first, I want to compliment my good friend and client Viki Walaskay on the sunrise photos she posts on her facebook page. She shoots them from the front lawn of her wonderful home on the shores of Murden Cove. Great photography--and good work being up so early every morning. That's what having two active boys will do for you.
My favorite item in today's paper comes from the Police Blotter--crime reports are almost always a source of entertainment here. (When I read the paper to record it for the VIP, Visually Impaired People on Bainbridge, I always found myself laughing out loud when I read the Police Blotter.)
In a truly iconic Bainbridge Island story, a man coming home from work got off the bus and was walking home when he saw his truck heading down the road with a young man he'd never seen before behind the wheel. He quickly called the police to report grand theft truck. The police arrived and the man's wife pointed out a strange car parked in their driveway. While the police were still at the house, the young man pulled up in the "stolen" truck. It turns out he had permission to borrow a friend's truck--he'd been told the front door would be open and the keys left out. Unfortunately, he walked into the wrong house and picked up the wrong set of keys. Case closed, no charges pressed. They probably all had a cup of coffee and called it good.
Happy Valentine's Day. My recommendations: have dinner at Four Swallows with the blackberry slump, recently named one of the top 100 restaurant dishes by Saveur Magazine, but first pick up roses from Flowering Around and Pink Peony truffles from Bon Bon Confections. Are you reading this, Hubby?
