‘Spider Girl’ gang held in Chile

Police have arrested two members of one of Chile’s most notorious gangs, known as the Spider Girls. The all-girl gang of teenagers were infamous for climbing up buildings in Santiago to burgle luxury apartments.

In a spate of high-profile robberies in 2005, they made off with thousands of pounds worth of jewelery.

Lurking in the gardens of expensive parts of Santiago, the four girls hurled ropes and hooks up to balcony railings, hauled themselves up and walked through the flat windows. They then walked out of the buildings as if they were visitors.

The gang members were arrested last year but three of them were sent to reform school rather than prison because of their age.

They vowed to change their ways but after being released, one spider girl, Yasna, returned to her old tricks, recruiting a new member,Marcielle.

Despite both being heavily pregnant, they still managed to climb up to the third floor of some flats.

8645 – meeting and picture linkage

Leave a comment

Off to a lovely start with snuggles and bagles before launch to work… bhk is far superior to me at “punch buggy” , especially in the bleary early morning, where my field of vision seems to be something like fifteen degrees. I think she whomped me about 937 times on the drive to fort lauderdale, but I loved every minute of it. Every day with her seems to shine brighter and have more potential than the one before. It’s truly wonderful to have her in my life.

Found a good seasonal renter for the condo, so mortgage payments won’t be an issue for a few months… that’s a real blessing. (Hooray for laid back family friends that like to tour florida! I know she won’t trash the place, and I can give her a rockin’ deal on the rent.)

Monday meeting went pretty well, BK is still out sick, so I’m not quite sure where things stand on this and that, aside from RS getting the bulk of reporting duties, TD chewing on web / overview text info (no design work, just straight entry), and the training of the new IT guy. Things should be a fairly smooth transition, as everyone is detail oriented, and willing to take things to task… which is a big relief for me.

whoops! I just saved the company a little embarassment –

8644 – Eat a Bagel and Go!

Leave a comment

Eat a bagel and GO! was our battle cry today, as BHK took charge and we managed to get up and out of the house by 10:30… not a trifling feat, considering our collective penchant for the lounge-about-the-houseisms.

(bhk thinks not, but I think maybe so.) I really dig having a walkabout cohort.

(our other battlecry of choice is “We’re Grown ups, We’re Married, We can do what we want!- that mostly applies to ice cream dinners, however)

We hit vizcaya with great enthusiasm…Quite enjoyed touring the grounds with bhk(more pictures from my last visit in ’03 on the vizcaya tag)

Green Dome, Pelican, red wall, stone boat, grotesques, stone boobies,spanish moss, pictures of a stalker european, sneaking into a secret door, quinteanos, swimming pools, fountains and foo dogs

highlights of the day were seeing a manatee in the wild by the stone boat, and holding hands with my beloved on the bench by the east gardens.

After vizcaya, we toured around and ultimately went to the swap-shop drive-in to see flushed away… very cute, but I think that I enjoyed the novelty of the drive-in even more than the movie. Very easy to sneak drinks and smooches in without an usher giving us any grief… we’ll be going back again before sauntering to points north, I suspect.

I was pretty impressed by flushed away… they kept the look and feel of aardman, despite it being all cgi rather than claymation. cute moments and lots of fun bits, though I think that the setup for a sequel was a bit over-telegraphed.

poo poo face, boca guns, curious george, pf changs giant horse, weird bhk piccie, mural and citus n/a tini and a mojito.

Hung out a bit at the pool for a swim and then played pirates with Danny and bhk. Bhk’s first time playing and she won soundly. (she was playing a pirate, an American warship, and a giant squid… my Spanish armada and Danny’s American/frenchies didn’t have a chance, though Danny came close to doing a victory by gold rather than combat.)

sleepy bear tonight… lots of fatigue from a long week of work and such, I suspect. I’ll see what sort of fallout I get from work re:resignation during the Monday meeting.

Yesterday, I saw a goggle-wearing dog, and some fish.

goggledoggiefshiesgoggledoggie2

At the traffic ticket fixer (read: ambulance chaser) law office on Oakland park blvd.

Putting in my notice at work today. Time to move on… Greener pastures await. They now have folks I can train to take care of business, so no guilt here. I’ll be interested in seeing what the response will be, as they fairly thought I’d stay until removed with a crowbar.

Two weeks from now, I’ll be en route to Maryland, and the condo will be a seasonal rental, and we can vacation there off-season. Bro has no idea I’m leaving the state, as I’ve not really heard from him in a few months.

More pictures from yesterday… bhk in awe of the goodyear blimp, big red the iguana & friend, silly faces, sunset in the back yard

swensens
At swensens, the wait staff asked me to help them with a power issue after we got our ice cream digested.. turned out the circuit breaker was flicked over, but we got ’em up and running in no time. They were very thankful and cut the cost of our meal. still a bit miffed over the lack of spanish peanuts or proper wafers. I think that we might try another swensens later, as one of our waitresses (we had two… it was a slow night in there, and they just traded off) confided in us that there were some items that they had on the menu that never ever got ordered – Wafers and whole peanuts amongst ’em.

Purse-lipped Canadian Pencil Sharpener’s name is now “Bruce Moose” He is Guardian of the “Love Cube” (the Element)

His voice is pretty dang poncy, but we love him, and he loves us. I may get him to do a voice post for us later on down the line. His South Park-esque eyes and tuque, snazzy orange fur, maple-leaf tattoo and love of pencils where the sun doesn’t necessarily shine has endeared him to us, as well as his super duper cheery outlook and personality… like the uncle Arthur we never had.

Is it only Tuesday? It seems like it should be at least Wednesday, by the feeling in my gut.

I’ve got to remember to vote today… Governor race isn’t very promising, but other items need coverage.

Bhk made a yummy broccoli and sunflower seed pizza for dinner, but I really didn’t have a huge appetite last night. Ah, well, just means a tasty lunch today!

Registered letter came in the mail yesterday… I’m curious to see if it’s something for me, or more for my bro. I seriously suspect it’s bro, and a billing issue. (another side effect of him having no forwarding address, and my living in the same building a while back)
