Our neighbor in the apartment next door to us has a large blue sign in his window that reads "Shoplifters Will Be Prosecuted." I can't fathom why he has this up, except that perhaps he brought it home from work and thought it funny or part of an inside joke.

I have so much homework I haven't started yet. Partially because I have to go through a doctor's booklet with detailed diagrams of injuries. Looking at the pictures is what kills me.

If you ever get a chance, you should go to the Crimes Against Kids conference that they have every year (usually in Dallas). It's the best thing for anyone who works with abuse cases. I feel sad that you're going to have to take in so much stuff. You know you can always call me if it gets to you. We all need that from time to time...and it's always easier when you know you're talking to people who share the unfortunate distinction of carrying the ugliness in their heads along with you.

Listening to it is not so bad, even with my hyperactive imagination. It's the pictures and diagrams in this damn training manual that are really getting to me. I spend a lot of time pretending I don't even have internal organs, so it's got the gruesome factor. Then, you realize how small these kids are and it's all downhill from there. I think I'm going to take a long shower.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's the mechanics of it all applied to such tiny little bodies that just makes it so much more horrible.

When I lived in a townhouse on capmus at Simon Fraser University we had a large sign for Subway. No reason. It was just there. Along with the parking directions sign from Western Washington University.

(I think the traffic cones were self explanatory.)

Fantastic. Abandoned, lost signage!
