Crazy State Laws #62 is this week’s Mystery Question. I am happy to report that I turned in my edits, timeline, and character sketches today. Happy Dancing around here!
But first the photo and verse. The verse is one I claim all the time. He also does exceedingly abundantly more than I can think or ask. The photo was another shot of the sunset in Ocala, Florida back in December. It was an amazing view.
Now for last week’s More Crazy Laws #61. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- It’s illegal to drive here while your dog is tied to your car. (AK)
- It is against the law to tickle women here, but not men.
- Here it’s illegal to wash your neighbor’s car without permission. (CA)
- Do not adjust your stockings here (if you still wear stockings). (TX)
And the answer is…#2. Congrats on all who guessed correctly. There are some really weird laws out there.
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #62. As usual, three are true and one is false. Can you guess which one?
- Don’t carry wire cutters in your pocket here..better still leave them at home.
- Do not use a feather duster on a building here.
- You must buy a $5 permit here to go barefoot.
- It’s illegal to publically wear house shoes on Sunday here.
Okay Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a book from my library!

Lynn H. Blackburn loves writing swoon-worthy Southern suspense because her childhood fantasy was to become a spy, but her grown-up reality is that she’s a chicken and would have been caught on her first mission. She prefers living vicariously through her characters while safe at home in her pajamas! She drinks too much coffee, eats too much chocolate, does far too little Crossfit, and never leaves home without a book.

The events of Unseen Enemy take place in between the end of One Final Breath (Dive Team Investigations, Book 3) and the beginning of Unknown Threat (Defend and Protect, Book 1).
For those of you who have been missing Ryan and Leigh, Adam and Sabrina, and Gabe and Anissa, the gang is all here.
The Dive Team is called out to help with a case that has Dr. Sharon Oliver, their favorite medical examiner, working overtime dodging bullets and grenades while reeling from the surprise appearance of the man she said goodbye to ten years ago, U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Benjamin North. He usually protects the President, but will he be able to keep Sharon safe from the unseen enemy stalking her every move?

You’re welcome, Priscilla! I’ll be bringing you a new author every month who is giving away a book if you sign up for their newsletter. We’ll see next week if it’s #4.
These are so crazy and startling, my brain can’t figure one out. If I just go “eenie, meenie, minie, mo,” I’ll go with #4. Congrats are your good hard work accomplished!
Author
Thanks, Delores! Love your system. lol We’ll see next week…
Congratulations and happy dancing with you on getting in the edits, time line and character sketches! Yay! (Clap clap)
Beautiful sunset! Amen to the Scripture. I won’t even mention the six animals I see in that sky! lol
Oohooo these crazy laws.mI’m about to do what Delores does. Going with #4, also.
I love Lynn Blackburns books. I’ve read all of them. For those of you who haven’t read her books, you’re in for a treat.
Author
Thanks, Barbara, for the shoutout for Lynn! I love her books. And I knew you’d see ‘stuff’ in the clouds. lol We’ll see next week if it’s #4…and yes I’m happy dancing until the next edits come in. 😉
Love the photo and verse!
Congrats on your accomplishments! I’m sure this is a big relief!
I, too, have enjoyed Lynn’s books immensely.

It is a relief, Mary. And I’m glad you enjoyed the photo and verse! We’ll see if it’s #4 next week…
Great photo and verse. YES!
Glad you met all your writing deadlines, too, Pat.
I love Lynn Blackburn’s books. She’s one of the best!
Crazy Laws:
#1. No wire cutters in your pocket? Guess electricians will have to keep them on their tool belts.
#2. No dusting buildings with feather dusters? Who cares and who would do it anyway?
#3. No way am I paying $5 to go bare foot.
#4. Are house shoes the same as bedroom slippers? Then, why not ban them in public everyday?
Can they get any crazier? Arrg!
They all sound crazy enough to be true. I’m guessing, because it will have to be a guess, #2
Author
The dumb laws never cease to amaze me, Gail! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
Tim, are you thinking like me that they are all made up? I don’t see where you chose a specific one.
Author
I didn’t either, Edward. lol
Author
But Tim, you didn’t say which one…I loved your logical way of looking at the questions, though.
#1?
Author
We’ll see, Barbie D. These were some doozies in my opinion…
Congrats on turning your work! I enjoy Lynn’s books too.
I am guessing #2 but all seem made up.
Author
Thanks, Gloria. And Lynn has great books. We’ll see if it’s #2 next week.
I’m gonna say #2 because it’s too silly. Reminds me of a book I read when I was little. A woman was hired as a maid. One of her tasks was to draw the curtains every morning, so she sat down with paper & pencil & sketched the curtains. I could picture her doing something like dusting the outside of the house!
Author
I love it, Joy! We’ll see if the growing popular #2 is it next week…
I will pick four, but I am not right most of the time.
Author
Hi Judy! We’ll see next week…
Maybe 2?
Author
Natalya, we’ll see next week…#2 is very popular.
#3 having to get a permit to go barefoot makes no sense to me.
Author
Hi Carolyn! Me, either…we’ll see next week.

We’ll see, BN…
I love the picture and the verse. I think this verse is one of the first ones I learned as a child.
As I said in my comment to Tim, I think all of these were made up. Maybe you didn’t make them up, Pat, but someone had very little of importance to do if they sat around and introduced such ridiculous legislation. I’m choosing #2 because it seems the most ridiculous of all. I don’t understand why anyone would use a feather duster on a building. What would they hope to accomplish? Is this a new method of snow removal? LOL!
Author
I thought this was a particularly wierd set of laws, Edward, and I’ll try and give the reasoning I found on why they were made in the first place–if I can find those answers. lol We’ll see next Tuesday. And the verse is one of my favorites and goes with Ephesians 3:20-21!
