   Patrick, I really must put my foot down here. I tolerate your posts up to a certain part because you're my co-blogger. But here I draw the line.

   I have had enough of your abuse of elderly Americans.

   Only a cad would mock Mr. Ogletree because he can no longer remember where he has left his clothes and wanders about airports partially clad, snapping at fast-food-pizza clerks. This fate awaits us all, Patrick. One day you, too, will be irrational, easily upset, and forgetful, your once razor-sharp legal mind unable to frame a coherent theory of liability and confused about arrays of possible defendants, reduced to making impotent scattershot threats to municipalities and random corporations.

   Time will lead you, too, to "lose your coat." I hope then some mean-spirited blogger will show you more grace and pity than you have shown poor senile Mr. Ogletree.

   How do we know he even lost his coat? We have only his word that he ever had such a coat.

   Doesn't the letter admit criminal behavior? I thought it was against some federal regulation to leave your items unattended in an airport.

   Why $800? Why not $54Million? A coat has to be as valuable as a pair of pants.

   You think a man with an $800 jacket is going to let the City of Houston get away with this? Come on!
