“…because our only officer able to perform the Patronus charm is off duty.”

Fun post from the Essexville MI Public Safety Department:
Earlier this morning, the Public Safety Department received a call from a concerned citizen who reported seeing a Dementor in Smith Park. This is particularly concerning since everyone knows muggles can’t see dementors and because our only officer able to perform the Patronus charm is off duty.  

Further investigation revealed it to be merely trash. 

The Ministry of Magic assures us that all dementors are accounted for at Azkaban. 

Please help us keep the City beautiful and help trash find its home.

The 91-year-old monarch wore royal purple on a visit to celebrate the International Maritime Organization in London and celebrate its 70th anniversary. Doesn’t she look lovely? 

3:39 PM Phil

Hope all is good with you. So busy I don’t have time to look up! 
3:40 PM Sassy
Hiya!  Crammed in a bunch of work early and came home before the storm hit.  Hope it’s not bad down there.
4:03 PM Phil
Just cold. Had a weird but busy day. 

Heard from an old friend whose Neanderthal husband is slapping her around. Gets he is angry and violent when he drinks. I told her to file a police report and get a restraining order. Of course she won’t do that cause he’s a good guy when not drinking. My comment that he’s never a good guy if he hit her even once fell on deaf ears. Really bums me out to hear. Last husband was abusive too. She’s got a smart mouth and I think she pushes it too hard but no excuse for laying a hand on her and he’s a brute. She isn’t going to leave and all you can do is hope he doesn’t hurt her too badly cause he’s gonna hurt her. I always feel helpless in this type of situation because they won’t call the cops and she isn’t leaving cause the house is hers and he basically mows grass occasionally. Ughhhhh
4:05 PM Sassy
Oh no!  So sorry to hear that… sucks.  Good that she can talk with you at least.
4:12 PM Sassy
Talked with a gal pal in VA – her power was out for 5 days, so you got lucky!
4:26 PM Phil
Yeah, no lie. 2 days was long enough
