Yowza! It's been a bad month for Dori and Tom, and now their home town Healdsburg has a mysterious ninja attack. Luckily the ninja wasn't bulletproof.

Between Henry getting arrested for arson and this, things have been a little weird around here lately. I didn't know about the ninja until you posted this one, though -- so thanks, I think.

Without going into inane details, it's been a weird month around here as well, but hearing about Tom puts it all in perspective, pretty darn minor.

Dori linked this, and, preserved for posterity, my comment:
They're still trying to identify the would-be ninja. And, yes, I don't think he was a real ninja, because he had a gun. A real ninja would have had mysterious polished metal balls which, when thrown, would have exploded into prodigious amounts of smoke so that he could silently make his escape. And a shuriken or two coated with mysterious poisons heretofore unknown to science.
I think someone was hiring inferior discount ninjas. Since the target was apparently some big gambling exec, I wonder if this is some sort of "dis": The mob boss can't be bothered to send a real ninja out after you...

No matter how bad-ass you are with numbers, being a CFO of a gambling operation and having an outfit does not make you a ninja.
Interesting that it took this long for them to figure out who the guy was. You'd think since he worked for the would-be victim, there'd be some recognition there...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
