From Decatur Police’s Jennifer Ross…

On July 1st, 2013 at approximately 10:30 pm, there was an attempted robbery of a single male sitting in his front yard in the 300 block of Second Avenue who was working on his laptop. The suspects circled the block in what appeared to be a light colored Mitsubishi SUV and returned approximately 10-15 minutes later. Two black males exited the SUV and approached the victim initially asking for directions but then demanded the laptop. The victim verbally refused. One suspect then pointed and fired what appeared to be a cap gun down the driveway, away from the victim. The victim fled to his porch and the other suspect ran after him. The victim struck the suspect in the face with a beer bottle and kicked him in the groin. The suspect struck the victim in the face with a closed fist. The victim fled inside of the house and called police. The suspects fled back to the vehicle and left the area. No items were taken.

Well, we lost most of the day to a server issue, but I might as well get one of these up while there’s still time!

What do you like to give/receive from your guests when you host a dinner party?  Maybe “gift” isn’t the best word.  I’m talking along the lines of wine, beer (growler?), side, dessert, etc.
