shoplifting

ok, so the big news in yesterday's local paper was the shoplifting arrest of a local extension agent...local to where i work not where i live......and i was horrified, as this was the exact job my dad did for most of his professional career, and it is a position based on trust....and once the public loses your trust you might as well go home and stay there.....and then it occured to me that he could be in the beginnings of senility.....my dad would have been senile on the job had he waited til age 65 to retire...thankfully he and the rest of us were spared having to take him home from work due to things such as this......we were not spared having to go to neighbor's houses to bring him home...he would wanger away and then forget which house was his....poor guy....if this extension agent has any clue he will 1) retire immediately 2) plead alzheimer's 3) get medication to preserve memory 4) go home and stay home......everybody at work was talking about it this morning.....stuff like this doesn't blow over quickly.......
