Crazy things are happening in Monterey!
Every night Joe and I look out the window and see the squid fishermen on the bay. I tried to find a picture to post but nothing that did the sight justice. They fish at night and shine lights into the water (this is all hearsay so don't quote me) to catch the squid. Imagine stars on the water...it's like that. Each night we open the blinds there are a few more added to their number.
Today at our youth leader meeting we spent an hour talking about one of our leader's job. He works in a prison and told us all kinds of stories about what an inmate's life is like. I am laughing as I write this...but I caution you: the following material is of a graphic nature.
There is a heavy population of a particular gang in this prison. Somehow the gang continually smuggled contraband into the prison without the guards' knowledge. Can you guess how they were doing it? Yep...they were smuggling things up there bums!
Apparently the way it works is someone in prison calls a buddy on the outside with a grocery list. A low-ranking gang member will then be the mule and get the items in by being arrested for...say...public drunkenness (I'd want to be drunk too if that was my job). Once he is on the inside the items are...delivered.
These 'items' are a variety of things, I'm sure. What I'm wondering is how are they not ashamed of using, smoking, ingesting things that were once up someone's butt? Our friend says that he once smelled marijuana around some prisoners. "Are you smoking butt-weed," he asked them. So shameful!
On the home front I am itching to get my sewing machine from my parents' house this summer. There is so much sewing to be done in this house! Not to mention all the sewing that needs done for the Egypt themed Vacation Bible School this summer!
Alright y'all - Office time!
