So we pay her youngest son to do the work. He built homes for James Engle here in KC and one of his houses took the top honor in the parade of homes.

How do homes "parade?" Are we talking mobile homes?

Murder. In the 1st degree.

Ummm... murder seems a bit much. What if the stands never fail?

Nope. It's a bunch of people that pick houses all over the country for their 'parade'

Why they call a cross-country road trip a parade, I'll never understand.

Twice a year the builders have a 'display' if you will, of new homes/models/designs that is open to the public for the great unwashed to 'parade' through and gawk at places they could live in, if they made enough money.

Most of them start at $400k and go up to over $1.5M, so for most of the people in KC, they are places that are really out of reach. This area has a problem with affordable housing, everything that is being built starts in the range of $300-$400k. There isn't much in the $150k or lower range, unless it's in the 'hood or a duplex.

There are several mobile home parks around... one was on the news last night, it looked like a dump with trash and empty (?) trailers. It's owned by a company in Cali, and the city has had it with the fires and police calls for service out there, over 400 in one year.

I'd solve it for them.... 'napalm, napalm sticks like glue/sticks to the Commie and the friendly farmer too..'

Doing whatever. I need to re-charge my batteries.

Then it's attempted murder but you have a decent defense of impossibility.

If they did fail, then you provided someone with a deadly device with the intent that it cause their death, and they did in fact die from the device. Like playing Russian Roulette and your buddy's luck runs out. Cut and dried murder charge.

So as long as I don't know about the recall I can give them away and hope that he doesn't get injured?

New date to return to the office is now July 13th with rotating schedules. I might just proposition working from home indefinitely....

My overall duties aren't impacted at all.
