You will need to sit through a commercial and watch very closely.
UPDATE: WIth all of the controversy going on in late night TV I’ve decided not to enter the fray.

Written by Stew on October 11th, 2009This is as close to an episode of COPS as I want to get.
Yesterday, as I was leaving my parent’s tranquil neighborhood in Morgantown, WV I was nearly run off the road by an unknown person in a Honda CRV. My interest was piqued when I noticed he was being closely followed by a police car, lights flashing in full-on car chase mode. Not too far behind where a couple more cruisers in hot pursuit. I found out later they finally caught up with the allegedly stolen vehicle after an extensive chase.
Now I really want some ’spike strips’ of my own.
Here are some local news reports on the incident:

Imagine Waking Up to This

Over the past month workers have been appearing outside my building on ladders, lifts, and other assorted contraptions. For some reason all of the siding needs to be replaced. I am hoping that after the endless banging, drilling, and semi-threatening reminders from the building’s manager to keep our windows shut the work is nearly completed.
FYI: This is the first post I’ve made from my phone using the WordPress for iPhone app. The initial posting was fairly easy. Cleaning it up and editing the HTML was a bit of a challenge.

I have received some pressure lately to join Facebook and/or Twitter. Mostly because people are concerned I’ve fallen off the face of the earth or worse. Instead of bending to peer pressure I thought an update to Stewsnews might be in order.
I cannot promise that I’ll be very regular with my posts; my life is just not that interesting these days. However, I’ll try my best to put something up even if is just the occasional photo.

Step Forward For Civilization
Written by Stew on May 18th, 2007
Visiting a public restroom anywhere in the world can be a gamble. Sometimes one is pleasantly surprised: At the Icon Grill in Seattle male patrons are encouraged by a multimedia display featuring scenes of waterfalls, floods and running faucets all set to classical music.
I haven’t come across anything similar here in China but I do get a kick every time I visit JUSCO, one of the large department stores in Qingdao. Posted above every urinal is the phrase “Step Forward for Civilization” in both Chinese and English. Apparently the powers that be believe that if we men could just be a little more tidy when taking care of business the world would be a much better place.
Maybe they’re right.
