So I was watching The Soup with Joel McHale, a Seattlite, and naturally this led me to think about sex offender registry search web sites. You know, because he was talking about those creepy pageants that deranged mothers put their five year old daughters in where they dress them up like divorcees from the 80's and put more makeup on them than I think I've worn in my life and teach them to pose like grown women lookin' for a date in a seedy bar. And I wondered to myself, self, do they have a search engine for my area? And the answer is yes. You should look in your county and see if you have this kind of resource.
There are three creepy men living in my neighborhood. I know that I would recognize them if I saw them because I saw their pictures and they are clearly creepy. So my advice to you, besides to look up the registry in your area, is to look for creepy men. Those are the ones to watch out for.
But seriously, folks. How cool is it that you can get email alerts? I'm not one to get all paranoid and wrap my kids in bubble wrap before I let them ride their bike or something (these are my imaginary kids, Phoebe and Luke, naturally-- I call Pheobe Phebes for short), but with all the crazy things going on in the world today it's kind of nice that you can be a little more aware of who your neighbors are. Or is it? Is it better not to be reminded of creepy men constantly, given the number of kids that grow up without encountering them at close range? I know what I think, but what do you think?

My friend just had her neighbors arrested for sexually abusing their kids and her kids used to go over their to play. Seems like her kids are fine though. Can't protect from the ones not in the system. Just have to try and trust your mommy instinct and hope it works.
