A robbery . . .

Upwards . . .

It's almost impossible to believe but Lizzy B's was robbed early Thursday morning. We're all guessing that it's someone who knew the place very well because the robbers knew exactly where the money was and even stole things that were stored in very out of the way places. The police do have some of the "action" on video but I doubt that they'll ever catch the thieves. The horrible thing is that the thieves probably still come in to the restaurant for breakfast and no one knows who they are. It's pretty bad when you own a place and wonder if you're serving the thief who just robbed you. The owner (who also works full time as an emergency room nurse in Rhode Island) had just been getting ahead and was putting money away to upgrade things and it's all gone. Of course I'm surprised that money was left in the building but we tend to think people are basically honest. So much for high expectations.

Did start the day with terrific cinnamon swirl french toast, a side of very crisp bacon and delicious coffee. The Bulletin reports a man got on 395 in Rhode Island going the wrong way, South in the North bound lane. Almost made it to Exit 89 in Moosup before causing a crash. He was from Danielson and 83 years old. It seems that people tried to let him know he was going the wrong way but he didn't get it. It's going to make all "old timers" look bad. I imagine there will be new laws enacted shortly.

Nice day for a ride to Pawtucket with Sue G. Looking forward to hearing some spoken French.

As a matter of fact I'm not sure it is still in publication. When I was a kid it was such a good magazine. I loved it. We used to fight over who would get to read it first.)
