Yes, there’s a three-day weekend ahead… and, while there are still trouble spots, things are looking so much better every day… that said, you (apparently still) can’t “shelter” stupid… just look at what has happened to these guys and gals…
Some Odds & Ends
For those who have trouble sticking to a diet…
In Perthshire, Scotland, there’s a 3.31 acre property for sale for just $173,000… it comes with a private beach, native woodland and fishing rights on the Loch Tay, according to Goldcrest Land and Forestry Group… oh, and one other special addition…
In the first inning of a recent game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the New York Yankees made franchise… and MLB… history when they…
Have you ever bought a home… only to find out later on that it was a dump? Well, check out what happened to Leanne Lebel and Kyle Ellis and their new home in Ennismore, Ontario, Canada…
Near Smyrna, Georgia, a historic covered bridge over Nickajack Creek, built in 1872, had a run-in with a bull… a red bull… well, sort of…
In Durham, North Carolina, the Can Opener Bridge has seen a lot of action… but not nearly the kind you might be expecting… check it out at 11foot8.com…
And now for the main “events”:
In Cape Coral, Florida, an unnamed man was apparently distressed at the restrictions on fireworks (or perhaps the lack of restrictions) in the Sunshine State… so, he set about a unique (and apparently ineffective) protest…
In Mesa, Arizona, Mary Garcia, 47, and Melinda Rodriguez, 38, have been arrested and face several counts of organized retail theft… having spent months stealing more than $100,000 worth of merchandise from a number of Walmart stores… so, how did they do it?
In McLennan County, Texas, an unnamed man driving a pickup cut off a couple of game wardens near Lake Waco… now, the game wardens suspected the driver might have been inebriated… but this action pretty much confirmed it…
And finally, near Bayou Corne, Louisiana, an unnamed individual was driving in the vicinity of a “near collision”… when he noticed a vehicle behind him “flashing his headlights continuously”… so he drove to a convenience store parking lot, and pulled in… only to have the vehicle that had been flashing his headlights pull in behind him, blocking his car… at which point the driver got out, approached the vehicle, and “presented a badge,” holding himself out as a police officer… well, as it turns out, Vincent Vinny Marks, 27, was not a police officer… although the individual he was ostensibly working to pull over… was… but that wasn’t the worst of it…
Have a GREAT Independence Day holiday, folks—and a marvelous three-day weekend. Stay safe, be careful—and we’ll see you back here on TUESDAY!
