TGIF. No, Really.

Well, here we are again—and yes, you (apparently still) can’t “shelter” stupid… just look at what has happened to these guys and gals… 

First, some “Odds & Ends”

In Irvine, California, Javier Rodriguez recently had a bit of car trouble with his Tesla Model 3… trouble that, after servicing, was described as “Diagnosed and found poor communication from charge port door causing power conversion system to shut off in order to protect on board components during drive”… So what did that look like from Javier’s perspective?  

In Esko, Minnesota, there lives what Guinness World Records says is the world’s tallest family… Meet the Trapps… 

Taylor A. Humphrey, 33, has formed a new consultancy… and she’s garnered more than $150,000 in 2020… What’s she consulting on?  

There have been a lot of musings about the origins of “Nessie,” the so-called Loch Ness Monster… This one may be the oddest… 

In Silver Spring, Maryland, another “casualty” of the WFH trend… 

And now for the main “events”:  

In Lumberton, New Jersey, law enforcement officials found it a bit suspicious that Skraptyques, a drug “convenience store,” made shoppers surrender their cellphones, be scanned by a hand-held metal detector, and only then be buzzed into a back room… apparently there was a reason… 

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a portion of I-380 southbound was shut down recently when a person driving north on Southbound 380 tried to drive between a semi and a car… causing the semi to turn over and spill corn on the highway… and sending the car into the median… The unnamed driver then continued to drive the wrong way… before hitting another semi… and another car… Then things got weird…  

In Fairfax, Virginia, there’s a five-bedroom house in a great location… listed for “only” $800,00 in an area where many sales top the $1M mark… and it comes with an interesting “built in”… 

In Bunnell, Florida, David Stover, 57, got into an argument with staff at the local Wendy’s… after David began arguing about not receiving a law enforcement discount on his order… and threatened to report staff to corporate for their belligerence… Though, as it turned out… 

And finally, in Fargo, North Dakota, Nathan Rodney Nelson has finally been arrested, bringing to an end a crime spree that spread over seven states… Turns out Nathan was stealing… golf carts… but you’ll never guess how many…  

Have a GREAT weekend, folks!
