a crappy walk to the park

i have an 'are you kidding me?' file in my head and a couple of recent news stories definitely belong there.
today's amish school shooting is one of them because it took place in paradise, pennsylvania. god, that's maybe the most awful, terrible thing i've ever heard.
the other is that perv. Rep. foley, who had a little too much fun im'ing young boys, was co-chairman of the missing and exploited children's caucus and made a big to-do about cracking down on online predators.
the later proves my long suspected belief that the more people hoot and hollar about something, the more likely it is that they believe and do just the opposite. there's a laundry list of people who prove this point, but i think foley's shenanigans are enough to make it clear for today.
so in short, if your neighbor says to you over and over again "i'd never molest children. it's disgusting. i hate those people," and/or you live in a town that has a happy adjective name, you should probably move.
on top of all of this george michael was found slumped over in his car. again. sigh.
today's t2 news is just a bit happier, but no less absurd.
he woke up at 7 and didn't seem to want to go back to sleep so i rallied and got up and was all ready to go for our morning walk. we were movin', we were grovin', we were up and at 'em. while i dressed, i put him on his gym mat. i left him alone for maybe 5 minutes and when i came back he was sound asleep (see below). he has a habit of bailing at the last minute.
i loaded him up anyway.
on the way to the dog park, a bird crapped on my head AND on the sun shade of the bugaboo. i mean, does that bird even know?
then on the way back, wolly had diarrhea which made a 10-block trail from the park to our house. at first i tried to clean it up, running along behind him holding the carriage in one hand and a plastic bag in the other. but picking it up was like trying to pick up a puddle, so eventually i just gave up and decided if anyone said anything i'd tell them to f off.
