Friday afternoon, Jay and Madison were pulled over and the cop issued bogus tickets to Jay. More cops were called in, it looked like it was going south until Jay mentioned having a lawyer. Then suddenly the frisk was called off, cops left, and tickets were ripped up with a “warning” only.

Krin, who moved in recently, was riding his bike around the neighborhood when a Pomeranian ran out in front of him. He swerved to miss it, and a child followed after screaming for the dog to come back.

Madison made a cop-pig sculpture to vent when she got home. She needed feathers to add quills to the boar and gathered some in the yard. That’s when she ran into Krin for the first time and he introduced himself as being “from up on the hill.”

Later, Krin found a feather and took it home. A swarm of cats followed him back to the house. When he got inside and turned on the lights, he realized his hand was covered in bird blood.

Autumn stayed late at the school library, but was perplexed when they closed up early for Labor Day weekend.
