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.
