NOT Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

We came home one day and we couldn't get to our street because the street we take to get to ours was blocked. By police cars and the crime lab van! Apparently they found a dead person in the alley a couple of blocks away from our house. We don't really know what happened or any details, but I know the house adjacent to the alley is a half way house for men recently released from drug rehabs. So who knows, it could be someone who overdosed or got into trouble over drugs. It's kind of scary, living so close to a half way house, but what can we do? We can't afford to move. This neighborhood is slowly sliding downhill.

9th St, down the street

Ninth Street is a stretch of businesses just down the street from our house where many university student go for something to eat. There are a number of good eating places in the area that are also affordable. My girls and their friends, even though they are not quite at university level yet, meet here on occasion for dinner. This time, they decided to have some pizza before their sweetheart's dance last Friday.

Want to see something cool? Copy and paste the code below into the address bar of your internet explorer and see what happens:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Got this from CheH who in turn got it from here. If the code doesn't work right, go get it from the source it's reall fun!
