Pumpkin Thief : Who would steal a pumpkin?

What kind of a person steals a pumpkin?

Up until last week, there was a beautiful, giant pumpkin adorning the front entrance of my house. It was placed there as a recognition and celebration of the season. To show passersby, friends and neighbors that Fall and Halloween are upon us all.

It is no more.

Some despicable thief stole the bright orange, huge vegetable orb. Someone swooped in the dark night to pluck it out of its rightful place.

What kind of person would do that? Is this what we have become? No respect for property and an intention to take what is not yours, ruining it for everyone who would drive by and see this mammoth wonder. No moral compass, no sense of right and wrong. No shame. Just selfish, entitled pigs.

Who was it? Misguided youths? Hooligans? Terrorists, petty criminals, some drunk driving home, neighbors? One thing is for sure, it was someone who could hoist this pumpkin into a waiting, idling vehicle, then screech off like cowards.

This is a sad state of affairs. I do not like thieves and that is what they are. And, what are they going to do with it? Eat it? Roast the seeds, carve it up, or hit it with a baseball bat? It certainly wasn’t donating it to a church, community festival or charity for display. Are pumpkins so rare that a person could not get their own?

I hope the perpetrators have eternal nightmares (among other consequences.) about being attacked by the pumpkins of this world.

I miss you big guy!

Wow! That’s really rotten. I’m sorry I missed this post, we could have formed a posse and hunted the mongrol down. You should have called out the police with the infared copters and found this infadel. Dissing your festive decorations is a crime against all who pass by your house. It’s just sad!

  • National Debt: Passed another marker
    The federal debt continues to grow with increases of billions each day, Nothing being done to address this serious long term threat. It is likely to worsen given all the talk about tax cuts and massive infrastructure spending, whatever that mean. The debt hits $20 trillion as Mr. Obama is finally gone, almost double since he took office. Quite a legacy and will be a drag as interest rates climb.

  • Political Report Card
    Now that Mr. Trump and has been in office a few months , here are the latest grades for our government,

    Administration: It is hard to grade the Administration but of the multiple missteps, the erratic behavior of Mr. Trump and the self-inflected political blunders. In certain, the Administration is making needed progress in certain areas but has failed or make progress on any major legislative initiative. The entire Russian-Comey-battle royal with the press-fill in the blank scandal could have been fill in the blank could have been avoided with a bit of common sense and political foresight. Mr Trump needs to stop being so sensitive and feling slighted at every move and get off the stupid twitter. Grade: Down to D plus.

    Senate: Republicans are in the drivers seat have failed to move the needle on almost everything except The Gorsch nomination. Where are the votes on tax reform, health care, spending, Rolling back Obama regulation has been a plus but not enough.back seat. Venom and obstruction from the liberals is not productive for the country The country expect action, not excuses. Grade: Grade C

    House: The House has moved somethings along, including the roll back of regulations. Did at least vote on health care, even though a bit awkward. regulation Tax Bill passage is a must. Remaining Grade : Grade B
