Stranger by half

I had to look twice to see the trick part of this one (click to enlarge if you need to)

A fun video clip:
Clever Squirrels

They arrested a guy here today who broke into a woman's apartment while she was sleeping and gave her a kiss. When he did, she woke up (no word on whether or not she was a beauty) and he fled. She called the cops and they caught him. He's being charged with assault and burglary.
It seems a stretch to consider a kiss as assault, but how do they figure the burglary? A stolen kiss?

Word is that the Saudis are going to increase their oil exports 2% to aid with the worldwide shortage and rising prices of crude oil. Isn't that nice of them?
Or not.
I'm no expert on international commerce but color me skeptical. I suspect their motives are more capitalistic than altruistic.
If I held a large supply of a commodity with a price that had soared, even I could figure out that selling more of it at the new higher price would bring me a whole lot of money. Sell high.
The interesting thing to consider is what they'll do with all that money. They won't invest it in their own country; for all their oil income the majority of Saudi people still live in poverty, while the wealthy decide which Bentley to drive to dinner.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they use at least some of it to loan to the U.S. government, thus funding our national debt. Hmmmm.

We'll leave the house about 3:30 a.m. tomorrow morning so I can catch a 6 a.m. flight to Detroit. I'll arrive there, rent a car and drive to Grand Rapids. The purpose of the trip is to perform the wedding ceremony of a good friend of ours on Friday evening. I'll meet with the bride and groom Wednesday evening, we'll have the rehearsal Thursday evening and then the outdoor wedding Friday evening. In between I've scheduled some meetings with colleagues and have a little time for visiting with my Michigan peeps. I want to be back here for church at Pathway this Sunday so I won't have the opportunity to attend Celebration Sunday. Sorry.

I think I'll have an opportunity to post from Pam's mother's place, where I'll be staying, but I'm not sure. I've got some things rattling around in my head I'd like to get out via a keyboard. So if you're inclined, check in.
But I've got to get packed and then to bed. If I don't do that soon there won't be any point.
