Dan, aka Danny-Boy, is a guy that helps us around the house. He is a jack of all trades. He paints, weeds, cleans the horse pens, cleans the fountain, re-stains the patio furniture. You name it, he does it. We pay him in cash with a few beers and sometimes lunch thrown in for good measure.
A few months ago, Danny-Boy was standing on a street corner, minding his own business, when a K9 Patrol car drove past him. The dog *hit* on a doobie in Danny-Boy’s pocket.
Talk about your bad luck. Danny-Boy was fined and sent on his merry way.
Fast forward to Friday night. Danny-Boy was riding his bicycle, and was pulled over for running a stop sign.
Since Danny-Boy hadn’t paid his previous fine, he was placed in a pod for 60 days.
When I heard the word pod, I thought of a moving/storage pod.
That would be cruel and unusual.
I guess a pod is like a holding cell.
So, on July 4th, when you’re looking up at the fireworks, think of our friend Danny-Boy who will have just been released.
