Have you been following the Barefoot Bandit case? 18 year old Colton Harris-Moore escaped from a halfway house in 2008 and has been on the run for the last 2 years. The FBI finally caught up to him... after he stole a plane and flew to the Bahamas! Seriously, you can't help but admire this kid! He broke into homes to get food and ice cream, blankets, or to shower, and yes, he probably did steal things from those people. But at one point he also donated money to a vet's office with a note attached saying to use it to help the animals. Guess he was kind of a modern-day Robin Hood. He taught himself how to fly by reading books and playing with flight simulators. He didn't hurt anyone in the break-ins. In the whole time that he was on the run, not one person was physically harmed by anything that he did.... personal property may have been destroyed, but that's besides the point ;) I can't wait to see the movie version of this story, reminds me of Catch Me If You Can, the story of Frank Abagnale Jr. (and yes, I loved that movie!).
Speaking of bandits, I'm gonna catch the one that cut the flowers off of my lily trees. Yes, you better watch out, its not nice to be on my bad side ;)

No~ No~ Mel you can't have it both ways. The barefood bandit is a criminal as is the flower thief. Could it be that he was taking the flowers to his sick mother in the hospital? Now is that ok?
I just can't help it Ken! Just like Robin Hood :) And if he stole my flowers for his sick mom.... he should have knocked on my door, I would have given him a plant to take to her ;) Hope your summer has been wonderful!
