True Things

 A Pennsylvania man is in jail on felony charges after police say a woman found him in her home with her fedora in one hand and a sports drink from the refrigerator in the other.

According to Altoona police, Adam Zirtsch, 27, allegedly walked into the house, took a Powerade from the refrigerator and drank some of it before he walked to an upstairs bedroom and took the hat.

Police were called to the home about 4:30 p.m. after the woman found Zirtsch in a second-story bedroom, holding her fedora. She said she was getting ready for work in another bedroom when she heard an unknown voice.

When she walked into the other bedroom, Zirtsch was standing, holding her fedora and the sports drink. He then asked if he could have the hat, and when she told him he couldn't and that he needed to leave, Zirtsch allegedly started to explain that he was drunk, and then he fell over.

After a couple minutes, the woman grabbed Zirtsch and pushed him out of the house and in the process, collected the hat and Powerade drink from him, police said.

Police found Zirtsch walking down the block and indicated that he was unintelligible when he spoke and had a hard time answering questions.

My Rambling Thoughts

Warm and quiet Sunday. When I pick up my mail, I quickly go through it. Junk goes in recycle box, personal stuff is opened, and the rest is placed on my table for later. About once a month, I go through the pile. I did that this morning. No important stuff found, just monthly statements of investments, EOB’s, and a couple of small investment checks.

It’s Labor Day and a good time to review who really built this country. This pandemic has taught us all to look at the essential workers…the janitors, garbage collectors, teachers, retail workers, hospital staff, and all the others who make our lives better. If some, or all these daily workers had disappeared, we would be in a whole lot more trouble than we currently are. Hopefully, everyone and especially elected people, will remember this when setting policy that effects these people. Hopefully, voters will remember this when voting for people who make policy.

Many Trump supporters held a boat parade. Numerous boats sank. Thankfully no one was injured.
