Another human condition offering from A&E. The show looks at people with disposophobia, the compulsive gathering and keeping of any number, or all number of things. I find it particularly interesting because I served as a Health Inspector for the Will Co. Health Dept. in Joliet, IL, circa 1992. One of the programs was Nuisance Complaint. Neighbors or other anonymous tipsters would call in and report anything unsightly, unsavory, or otherwise suspicious. Inspectors had Administrative Authority, backed by the Will Co. Sheriff’s Enforcement Authority. So I got to knock on a lot of doors and see some things that still serve among the Best of Tales from my varied background. Next time I’m having a beer with you ask me about the man and his macac. Perhaps the Strangest and Saddest tale of all.
Living History Farms is this Saturday and if you aren’t officially entered, Don’t Even Think About It! From race officials: “not accepting transfers and anyone caught running the race with someone else’s bib # will be banned from the race for two years.” Save it for the Fremont Turkey Trot.
Lee Anderson will bring his altitude training and his girlfriend Haleigh Riggle to Fremont. Lee has been working in Arizona with some of the best triathletes in the country and we’ve missed his Cowboy ways. Haleigh has been running well taking 1st overall at the recent Theta 5K (20:21).
Another crisp, beautiful November morning. Eight miles around the dojo, life is good.
