For Emily whever you may find her

My very last post here at 'Pints. The last administrative announcement is here.

And my eternal thanks to the dearest Emily for providing me a blogosphere presence for these many years. I love you, doll, you're a mensch. More below the fold:

I love you, doll. I had played with the idea of blogging, but you made it real. You gave me a platform to spout nonsense, rant incoherently, and to shout to the world how proud I am of my little girls (who are not so little anymore). And for that, you will always have a place in my heart. And even though we are moving on and will not be in this particular locale in the future, please know that I will never forget you, nor you love for the COUNTRY MUSIC GOD THAT IS ROGER MILLER. And with that in mind, my dearest Emily, here is a small trubute. Enjoy.

You have no idea how sad I am right now.

Man gets burned while using lighter to siphon gas

MUKWONAGO, Wis. - Police said a man was arrested after he used a cigarette lighter while trying to siphon gasoline from a van. The man, who was visiting friends, went to drive home early Saturday but realized that he didn't have enough gas in his SUV.

Police said the man tried to siphon the gas with help from another woman, but he couldn't see how much gas was in the container, so he used the lighter to check.
Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

But on a happier musical note

Local RDWB has been playing this song so I thought I'd embed the video.

Bummer, man

Bummer.
