Actually the article only says that there are no confirmed cases of a child being poisoned by a stranger. The author glosses over the fact that the crazy dad mentioned also gave the poisoned Pixies to a few random kids, but none of them had eaten the stuff. The sharp objects scenario isn’t actually a myth, although it’s certainly been way over-hyped by the media: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/needles.asp .

Still, I do strongly agree with the author’s general sentiments about the contemporary sterilization of childhood.

The mother lode of that mulch is in the parking lot of the county driver’s services place on Memorial Drive across from the DeKalb County Jail.

Good Job to the Decatur Active Teens who put on the Haunted House at Ebster. Thanks for doing that. I don’t imagine too many teens read this blog, so if you know anyone who helped out, please pass along a word of thanks.

So are we getting some more mulch? I am talking about the place between the library and the community garden.
