TGIF. No, Really.

TGIF

Yes, we’re (still) working our way through a pandemic… but vaccines are coming (more every day)… but you (still) can’t “shelter” stupid… look at what has happened to these guys and gals… 

Some Odds & Ends

…so, as it turns out, there has yet to be a winner to step forward for the $1.39 million EuroMillions Millionaire Maker jackpot… and that ticket expires… March 17… Now, we know where the ticket was purchased… so Britain’s National Lottery has teamed with an unusual partner… in an unusual way… in hopes of finding the winner… 

For that hard-to-shop-for-person on your shopping list… 

Is this taking the concept of “open concept” too far? That’s a rhetorical question, btw.  

Recently a battle of sorts was waged over public space, art, Georgetown (Washington, DC) history, and bureaucracy. And Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were out in front of it. Literally. 

So, tell me again why you were late to work?  

And now for the main “events”:  

In Altoona, Pennsylvania, Valene Reed, 29, showed up at the Blair County Adult Probation & Parole’s satellite office here to check in… following her arrest last August after the car she was riding in was pulled over by state police… and in which about 1,100 packets of suspected heroin were seized, 100 of which were in her purse. Apparently she hasn’t learned from her mistakes… 

In Los Angeles, California, an unnamed individual drew the attention of bystanders—and ultimately law enforcement—about 5:15 p.m. to the intersection of Barrington and Pico… where a blue BMW was reported to have hit a pedestrian… while doing donuts… Someone in that BMW then put the pedestrian in the vehicle… and sped away… with LAPD officers in pursuit… but then, during that pursuit… 

At the Paradise Lago Taurito & Waterpark, Gran Canaria, Spain, Christopher Byng, 38, Barbara Byng, 64, Linda Lane, 36, and Anthony Byng, 66, had a rough vacation back in 2016… and submitted gastric illness claims against Jet2holidays following their “an all-inclusive holiday”… claiming that all had suffered from various symptoms, including stomach cramps, sickness, diarrhea, headaches and hot and cold sweats… all of which they said was a result of food poisoning… Unfortunately, they had the pictures to (dis)prove it… 

In West Newton, Pennsylvania, Donald Cassidy, 54, reported his 2010 GMC Acadia stolen on Feb. 15… fortunately, troopers located the vehicle in the woods off of White Bridge Road in Mount Pleasant Township… unfortunately, the vehicle was reportedly set on fire and unrecognizable… though a visible VIN number on the vehicle verified Donald as the owner… but guess what troopers found in Donald’s search history on his phone… 

And finally, in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, the intersection of highways 11 and 32 here was a dangerous place to be here one recent Sunday morning… At around 2:45 a.m. Kraig Herbrechtsmeir, 56, driving a Ford F250 pickup truck, was heading southbound on Highway 32… he drifted into the northbound lane… heading straight for a GMC Yukon SUV driven by Christopher Sanchez, 33… who attempted to swerve to avoid the oncoming pickup… but was still hit head-on… moments later, Herbert Aguirre-Lopez, 45, driving a Chevrolet Equinox… northbound on Highway 32… hit the pickup truck… The good news is, no one was injured. But what was weird…

Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
