Tom's Slightly Longer Short Takes 



April 28, 2009

My lil' Gomers making a sign for, & sending to @jasonmitchener. Please @thirdday play May Your Wonders Never Cease in PHX.

"Jason Mitchener was born with a rare neuromuscular disease that now confines him to an electric wheelchair and requires him to use a ventilator to breathe. His body may be confined, but his spirit soars free." Read the rest of Jason's Bio here: http://www.jasonmitchener.com/biogaphy.php

Jason is an inspiration for us. Sometimes we take the very little things in our lives for granted. When I found out he needed a sign for the concert he is going to attend, I gathered my kids, told them about Jason and they wanted to make a sign for him. Its just a little way for us to help someone else who has a disability. Having a child with a disability in our family, we appreciate it when someone lends us a helping hand. So, Jason, here you go. We all hope they play your song, but either way, thanks for your inspiration and the opportunity to really teach my kids a wonder lesson in helping others.

The Soto Family,

Tom

Kaitie
Tommy
Jamie

Lakewood, Ca Volunteer Day. LB Cub Scout Pack 23 painted park picnic benches. Then BBQ. Boys had a great time.

And most of the paint made it on the benches!

Police Search For Lakewood, CA Child Molester

Police Search For Lakewood Child Molester

LAKEWOOD, Calif. (CBS) ―




Authorities released this sketch of a man suspected of exposing himself to a girl in Lakewood.


Sheriff's deputies want the public to be on the lookout for a man who exposed himself to a 12-year-old girl attending a spring break program at a Lakewood elementary school.


The girl was walking down a hallway at Samuel Gompers Elementary on April 14 when she was approached by the man, Sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Diane Hecht said.

The man put his hands on the girl's hips, then exposed himself and began laughing. He walked out of the school a few seconds later, Hecht said.

The suspect was described as a man between 18 and 25 years of age. He is approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds. He has crooked teeth, spiked blond hair and blue eyes, as well as a tattoo of a snake or dragon on the left side of his neck. He was also wearing a hoop earring.

He drove away in a champagne-colored, four-door Chevrolet Tahoe.

Anyone with information about his identity or whereabouts can call Sgt. Dan Scott of the Special Victims Bureau at (562) 946-8282, or a 24-hour tip line at (866) 247-5877.

This is the new surfboard I want. A good all around mid-sized board to add to my quiver.

Built 7’2" to 8’6" with widths in the 21 3/4" to 22 1/2" range, the LC-3 equates a superb paddling to performance ratio. FCS fin system... Standard weight double 6 ounce deck, and single six ounce bottom. Soft, thin 50/50 rails forward transitioning into a hard speed edge tail rail. All our boards are hand built (shaped and glassed) in Becker’s Hermosa Beach California factory

The LC-3 is probably the most copied board on the market today. since 1980, Phil Becker has shaped over 10,000 of these unbelievably fun shapes-making the LC-3 the number one selling model in the history of the sport! although it has evolved and been fine-tuned since its inception, the basics of an all-around board have not been sacrificed.
