The wax is gone and I'm still unable to hear out of my right ear. Or at least I don't think I am and I'm pretty sure I'm just feeling vibrations.

An episode of Alf made me realize I haven't seen those thick paper like boxes of ice cream in a long time.

"No reason" is that red flag people keep talking about. Don't do it. Stay out of the woods, bro. Lock all your windows and doors (like any of that stops a bear).

Officials share video that shows how killer escaped Chester County prison

On Wednesday, officials shared video of how Danelo Cavalcante, who has been on the run for seven days, escaped from Chester County Prison on Aug. 31, 2023.

Holland said that Cavalcante's escape was similar to that of another prisoner who escaped the facility in May.

The difference, Holland said, is that the inmate in May was caught "in five minutes," while Cavalcante's escape went unreported for some time.

"In the escape of Cavalcante, the tower officer did not observe or report the escape," he said.

In fact, he said, the prison wasn't locked down until about an hour after Cavalcante had fled the facility.

Holland said Cavalcante "crab-walked" up the wall at 8:51 a.m. that day. He then moved through razor wire and across a roof before vaulting a fence and pushing through more razor wire on his way to freedom.

At 9:45 a.m. officials were notified that Cavalcante was gone and the prison was locked down at about 9:50 a.m., said Holland.

Holland also said the facility had bolstered security following the escape in May, focusing on areas "from the yard to the roof area."

"While we believed the security measures we had in place were sufficient, we were proved otherwise," said Holland.

Since last week, Holland said that the facility is again bolstering its security to prevent future escapes.

I heard that the tower guard was placed on leave. They didn't realize he was missing until almost an hour.

The reward for information leading to Cavalcante's capture is now at $20,000.

Do they still put "dead or alive" on reward posters like they used to?

Cavalcante -- who is fluent in Portuguese and Spanish -- was set to serve life in prison after being convicted of stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death. He is also wanted in a killing in his native Brazil.

Authorities have urged residents to keep their homes and vehicles locked, to check the properties of vacationing neighbors and to look out for missing cars, bicycles or any other mode of transportation Cavalcante might use.

“It’s unnerving to know that I can’t stand in my backyard with my dogs. My husband has to come outside with me and, you know, it’s just an uneasy feeling,” said Danielle Lawrence, of Pocopson, whose house is near the prison.

Guy sounds like a real scumbag.

Irony. I'm not even immune. It's like gravity or something.

Irony is what is produced when you use an iron but a clothes iron or a golfing iron?

I find that interesting because I argued in a debate that enabling equal pay for equal work isn't done without difficulty (especially in some Islamic countries). The first impression I had of equally paying females was that businesses would just slow increases in pay for male and female employees to accrue the funds necessary. Now, you report bankruptcy.

In the UK
The Equal Pay Act 1970 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that prohibited any less favourable treatment between men and women in terms of pay and conditions of employment.

They should have been paying equally for equal work for over 40 years.
