Electric Josh

Update
Random notes:

• Still pondering the Metallica show. A review is still coming. Watch this space closely, as though your child's life hangs in the balance. (It doesn't, but watch closely anyway.)
• Gearing up for a trip to the harbor islands this weekend. Should be cool.
• No luck yet with the accursed DVD player.

Dog
Okay, so if you're a kid and your dog runs away, you should hope that you live in Connecticut. Apparently, there, police will immediately chase your runaway dog through town, for miles if necessary, until he is in police custody, caught by a bystander, or stops to poop.

The incident started when Connecticut's ''first dog'' jumped out of a window in Rowland's car as the governor was touring a new building at the University of Connecticut's Waterbury campus. Coalby bolted down East Main Street, up a hill and over a green, with two city police officers on bicycles in dogged pursuit. The three-mile chase ended when the officers shouted at a Wolcott man, Ed Humel, who grabbed the canine in his arms.

Or maybe you have to be the governor. So a correction is in order: if you're a kid and you're worried that your dog might run away, move immediately to Connecticut and become that state's governor.
