SO THAT’S WHAT TOLKIEN’S INITIALS STAND FOR

Must confess my favorite morning hobbit is to read the New Yorker blog.

Where else can you discover an article on discovering a long lost “Beowulf” translation by John Ronald Ruell Tolkien.  I still have nightmares about not studying for my Olde English final.

DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, BIKE THIEF?

Police in San Francisco have a unique anti-bike theft detail that’s pulling bike thieves behind bars.  And, the cops are loving it.

FEELIN' LUCKY, PUNK? Say hi to San Francisco cop Matt Friedman.  He's making news heading up SFPD's new anti bike theft unit.  Since Matt's detail has hit the street putting out "bait" bikes life has been tough on bicycle thieves. While the arrested dorks are posting bail with hard cash, Officer Friedman is posting their mugs online.  And, while viewing this New York Times blog item you can see he loves his job!
