Thanks, gang. I’m sure the dark clouds will lift soon. It’s the way of things.

Lon: Aye, the Honor System here is better than most alternatives. Doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be in mourning for some days to come.

Mary: You know I know I can, but I know that you know I can’t.

Kate: A headache meds commercial. Interesting. I actually broke down and took some yesterday at one point. Don’t know that it helped.

Geez Mike. If you could just get all that you’ve done this week smushed down into a 30 second spot you would have one heck of headache meds commercial.

I hope Sherry starts feeling better and that you get to have a bit of rest sometime very soon.

Ooof. I’m sorry that I added to your load this week. You can always say “no” you know. Really.

And the herding cats video is priceless.

Sorry you’ve been having a rough go of it. Those honor violations can be unsettling. Especially with our culture’s current slackadaisical approach to ethics, the old school absolutist approach can seem odd. That said, overall I’m glad that the officers I’ve worked with have been heavily discouraged and screened before they get out in the field and start wrecking things and killing people with their lies, falsified records, etc. It (obviously) ain’t a perfect system, but I suspect it’s better than the alternatives…
