Today’s cartoon is from the near past, 2014. I should have shown it to you a few weeks ago, closer to true “Midsummer Night,” but I just ran across it again. I like the zany stuff from time to time. And a shout out to my writing partner on this one, Will the Bard. I hope you didn’t spend all your money on Rheta’s books yesterday. Tomorrow, I will have definitive information on the start of the elusive Kickstarter campaign. It’s getting close.

I live with a police officer and he has become family. No, he isn’t my boyfriend, no I don’t sleep with him, he is my resident security living in my guest mother in law apartment we built for my mother. He lives there because they don’t pay him enough for him to support his five year old son he adores. He works as many hours for me repairing and painting my house as he does as a deputy because he doesn’t earn enough to support his son and all the legal costs involved with his child to keep partial custody and visitation rights.
I am not sure what I respect him for most. But I know he faces danger and death daily for too little pay. I consider the help I give him small payback to police officers who all need us yet get small reward. My personal feeling for police comes from the close relationship I developed with those handling my case. They cared, it was personal to them. I care too, they are personal to me.
I called mine to tell him I love and respect him. He was going to court on his day off to testify in case. He had friends in Dallas on force that were there. Yes, it was ambush.
