found...

I could write about another 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court but I really just don't know what to say about it. I don't have any amazing insights or anything like that. The new catch-phrase seems to be "official religious neutrality" which is something I don't recall reading in the constitution. I also don't remember anything about "seperation of church and state." All I remember is that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

I guess that the Supreme Court has decided that by displaying the ten commandments in state buildings the government is making a law that establishes a religion. I don't see it that way, and I think we've always been far from setting up another state-sanctioned Church of England. I'm pretty sure that's what the founding fathers were trying to avoid. I don't believe they were hoping to establish an atheistic, god-less government. That's just what I think...

Here at work the late nights are apparently quite slow. Normally I don't work late in the evenings, but I did on Saturday. It was pretty quiet after about 9:30 or so. A couple weeks ago the night shift got pretty ambitious and went around and cleaned up all the desks. They found a fair amount of random junk and established an official lost-and-found box. We hadn't had one here before, and frankly I'd say it was long overdue.

Right now there isn't much in the box. In fact, there's just a squeegie. I guess that's how you spell the word. I really don't know. Anyway, whenever I walk past the box I like to look in and always the squeegie is there. I wonder where it came from. Where was it found? Is a janitor missing a squeegie or did someone actually bring one to work and leave it at their desk? Do other people think it's a real crack-up that there is a squeegie in the lost-and-found box?

It's a really nice, industrial-grade squeegie. I really mean it. Aren't things in a lost-and-found box fair game? Me and my sweetie Nik are moving to Arizona in a month, and I'm sure we could use a nice squeegie in our new home. Maybe I'll take it home with me tonight.
