His instructions for marking the corners was to pour lime in a 20' diameter circle around the property corners. I will leave it to the gentle reader to decide if the reason was merely to see where his property was from the air or was it to make sure the bundles didn't land on his neighbor's property. Seems to me that if you drew a 20' circle centered on the property corner, that 3/4 of that circle would be the neighbor's property. I agree but that is what the note said. I didn't work there when the job was done. Some time after he was killed his brother called about getting something done with the property. I pulled the file while on the phone with his brother. Later the bell went off in my head about the name and I read thru the file. There was a note in my boss's handwriting with those specific instructions. I suppose they were followed. I didn't ask my boss. He was a grouchy sort of cuss and would be more interested in why I wasn't making him money instead of in his office asking stupid question.

Love me some Asylum Street Spankers. Have all their recordings. Hated to see them break up.

Love me some Asylum Street Spankers. Have all their recordings. Hated to see them break up. Saw them live, probably in 2003, in a coffee shop in San Jose. No mics or any sort of amplification whatsoever. The concert began with the admonition to shut the hell up and listen to the music. Great show. I have most of their albums.

Anyhow, this. makes perfect sense. If you put large white circles around all the corners of the property, you have marked off the entir property quite well from the air. So the circles defined the corners of the drop zone, they were not the drop zone themselves.

If it’s the recent episode with Ed Calderon, that guy is a *serious* trip. Very unusual guy in real life. I had never heard of him before so I don't know if he is legit. I've been too busy to check him out. As it happens we have several friends in common. By all accounts, he’s a really nice guy, but his subject expertise runs dark, dark, dark. Think Santeria, kidnap for ransom, torture and other unsavory topics. He was ten years with Mexican Federal LE, before hanging out a shingle to scare the hell out of Americans with open enrollment coursework on escaping from unlawful custody. I’d recommend NOT googling the guy, unless you’ve finished meals for the day. Parts of the Latin American drug and human trafficking trades are pretty ghastly on a routine basis. Hell, If I saw the stuff he saw on the job in his 20/30s, I’d move to America and make a living telling horror stories to affluent Americans and Fed LE too.

Whence their name was derived. The band traveled with a cricket bat or paddle of some sort. They began each show by announcing that they were totally acoustic and used no amplification of any kind, and exhorted the audience to be quiet and listen. Anyone breaking that rule would be threatened with expulsion from the venue, backed up by the cricket bat.
I had the pleasure of attending several of their shows in the late 1990s and early aughts. I sat quietly and listened, and was rewarded with a great couple of hours of music.
And now, back to psychiatry...

I bet I can find a psychiatrist that'll say you're crazy. Lucy Van Pelt Nice thing about her is that she works for peanuts.
