More Crazy Laws #32 is this week’s Mystery Question. I turned my edits in on time (Yay!), and on Wednesday I begin the first book in the Return to Logan Point Series! I’m really excited to write this–I’ve wanted to tell Scott Sinclair’s story for a long time. He was Nick Sinclair’s brother in my very first book, Shadows of the Past. And don’t be surprised if the deputy, Wade Hatcher, doesn’t show up…I’ve always wanted to write his story, too. Will he still be romantically involved with the librarian? I’m not sure…
But first the photo and verse. The sky was that brilliant blue we usually think of in October, but I took this one in the spring. And I read the verse in my Bible reading for Sunday. I thought the verse fit perfectly!
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #31. Three true laws are true, one made up. Can you guess which one?
- You may be arrested for wearing New York Jets clothing here. (Oklahoma)
- Getting married in a skating rink is against the law. (Oregon)
- No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July. (Ohio)
- You can be arrested for sticking your tongue out at a policeman.
And the correct answer is…#4. Congrats to all who guessed correctly and there were a bunch of you. 😉
Now for this week’s More Crazy Laws #32. Three true laws are true, one made up. Can you guess which one?
- Reading a comic book while driving is against the law here.
- You have to have a regulation clothesline to hang out your wash.
- This state will not tolerate anyone taking a bite out of another’s hamburger
- Dishes must drip dry.
Okay Super Slueths, which one did I make up? Leave your answers in the comments and I’ll enter you in a March drawing for a book from my library!

I’m going with #2.

Hi Diana! We’ll see…
#4 – who would know?
Author
Great logic, Mary. We’ll see…
My brain tells me you would choose #4 two times in a row, but I don’t see how such craziness could be enforced. But then you’ve given me cause to carefully investigate if I EVER anywhere again. I will go w/ #4 this week & love the photo and verse.
Author
I love the photo and verse, too, Delores…we’ll see if I would go with #4 two weeks in a row next week…
Excellent photo! God’s love and faithfulness indeed is without limit, as the verse teaches.
I’m glad you got your edits in, Pat. I’m also looking forward to returning to Logan Point. It was with that series that I found your work. “Shadows of the Past” got me hooked, and I’ve read every one of your books since.
#1 I would hope reading anything but signs while driving would be against the law.
#2 A regulation clothesline sounds like a stealth law. Who would know about that?
#3 Forget the state law, I won’t tolerate anyone taking a bite of my hamburger!
#4 I’d be OK here. Mine always drip dry in the dishwasher.
I think the regulation close line of #2 is the one you made up.
Author
Tim, your logic always makes me smile…thank you so much for reading my books and for always commenting on my blog! We’ll see if it’s #2 next week…
Congratulations on turning in your edits! I think you made up number 1 because I think all reading while driving would be illegal, not just comic books. One time I actually saw a trucker reading a novel propped on his steering wheel. We were going down a highway in the rolling foothills of Appalachia.
Author
Love your logic, Priscilla! I’ve actually seen what you described although not in the foothills of Appalachia. lol Scary actually.
Congrats on getting the edits in on time! Woo Hoo! It will be fun to return to Logan Point, Pat, and have you write a story with familiar character “friends.” I loved that series and will reread them before the next book comes out.
The clouds, wow! Did you see the black cat with his paws outstretched on the right of the middle cloud? I sure wanted to scratch his head.
Choosing one of these crazy laws is difficult. I wonder how people would know on #4? So I’m surprising myself and choosing #3. Lol! DiAnn 🙁
Author
I totally don’t understand why you’re getting my blog via DiAnn Mills…if anyone has any suggestions as to why Barbara gets my blog notification via DiAnn Mills and not for me, please tell us! 🙂
Anyway, I’m glad you’re getting them. And I didn’t see the cat…will have to go back and look. And we’ll see next week if it’s #3.
Pat, the only way to hazard a guess would be to view the actual email. It might be possible to pick up a clue about why it’s happening. At the moment, I can’t picture what she is seeing.
I am going with number 3.
Author
Hi Judy! We’ll see next week if it’s #3…
Not sure why I stress over answering these because there is no rhyme or reason to them. I did get last week correct. I am guessing #1. Congrats on your new series!
Author
Gloria, I totally understand. Would you have thought there were that many crazy laws on the books that I’m at #32 and there are still lots out there??? We’ll see next week if it’s #1. And I’m excited to start the book and visit all my old friends.
Beautiful picture and wonderful choice for the verse. I look at those clouds and imagine all the grandeur that lies beyond. Praise God!
I’m looking forward to returning to Logan Point. With so many books read since then, I need to go back and refresh my memory.
I can definitely agree with a law restricting reading any comic book, magazine, or other reading material while driving. There was a well-known pastor and denominational leader in my denomination who reportedly read many books while barreling along interstate highways while his wife made notes on note cards for him. I suppose I can see a purpose for regulation clotheslines. You wouldn’t want the burglar who is escaping with all your valuables to get clotheslined and sue you for endangering his life. It had to be a slow day in the legislative body for them to be concerned about how dishes were dried. That brings me to #3. Please, that has to be made up. Back in our courting days, my girlfriend and I had a favorite drive-in restaurant where we enjoyed their cheeseburgers. It was always so romantic when I finished my burger, and then she would lean across the console and feed me the last bite of her burger. If this was a law in our state, I guess I would have a stack of tickets as tall as my TBR stack of books.
Author
Edward, I’ll be rereading the Logan Point books as well–did you know I’ve never read one of my books after they were published? I’d want to change something. lol We’ll see next week if you’re in trouble with the burgers…

We’ll see, Patricia!

Number 1 is getting a lot of votes, Caryl…we’ll see…
Beautiful blue sky and verse, Patricia.
If dishes have to drip dry, does that mean you have to wash them by hand? If so, let me know what state that’s in so I’ll be sure not to move there. 🙂
I’ll go with #4.
#3 love the scripture with the photo.
Author
Thanks, Lucy!
#4?

We’ll see, MS Barb!

We’ll see, Shelia!
Love the photo and verse! I agree the blue sky is brilliant!
Kudos on getting your edits turned in. I look forward to your Return to Logan Point Series. I, too, will need to refresh my memory on the Logan Point series before your new book comes out. Like Tim after reading “Shadows of the Past” I was hooked and I eagerly look forward to each new book.
These laws are all so ridiculous it’s hard to imagine that any of them are real, but they do make me laugh. #2
Author
Thank you, Miss Mary! I’ll also be reading the Logan Point series so I can remember what the town and characters were like. lol I agree about the laws being ridiculous…we’ll see next week if it’s #2.
Love the insights into your upcoming writing… sounds fun.
Author
Thanks, Sally Jo! and Friday I’ll be talking about Sweet Deceits. 🙂
I’m gonna say #2, because, how does one regulate string? String is string is string.
Author
Love your logic, Joy…we’ll see…
I’ll go with #4 this week.
Author
We’ll see, Megan!
I’m guessing #3 this week. Been wrong several weeks in the row. I’ll probably be adding another week to my total.
Author
We’ll see, Gail…you never know. 🙂
