Well, here we are again at the end of yet another workweek—and just look at what has happened to these guys and gals…
First, some “Odds & Ends”
Not idea where this is—but it’s Halloween (or nearly so), so just consider this a cautionary tale about getting too close to a grizzly bear…
Matthew Concepcion, 19, was among the 1,000 participants from 32 states, Canada and Latvia who participated in an annual 10-day competition…where he was awarded the $10,000 Ultimate Grand Prize courtesy of the Bergeron Everglades Foundation…for…
It is a biological mission that began with a chance encounter with a lemur that was…what?
In Iona, Florida, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a…
And now for the main “events”:
In Venice, Florida, Tyge Tuccillo, 52, was involved in a car crash on US 41 Bypass here… after which he fled on foot… only to return to the scene of the accident… but after he did…what?
In Birmingham, UK, Martin Travers strolled into a local post office…wearing a hoodie and sunglasses…and then told the cashier to put money in his box …but she did not understand what he was saying…so, he proceeded to put his instructions down on a piece of paper… but then…
In Jersey City, New Jersey, an as-yet-unnamed individual robbed $800 from an ATM here…actually, he robbed it from a 36-year-old patron of that ATM who had withdrawn that sum from the aforementioned ATM shortly before being robbed by that as-yet-unnamed individual… who, as it turns out, left behind some incriminating “evidence”…
In St. Paul, Minnesota, an unnamed 16-year-old was arrested recently… after police say he stole a Kia… and led officers on a 28-mile chase…before trying (unsuccessfully) to flee on foot…at which point police noted that he seemed to be in pain…having, as the youth told them, been shot twice on two different days…once in the stomach and once in the leg…neither injury appearing to have been treated…all this for an individual, it should be noted, that already has nine previous arrests for fleeing, possession of weapons by a person under 18, motor vehicle theft and assault…oh, and he’s on probation for possession of stolen property and possession of a firearm…what’s ironic is what he was found to be wearing…
And finally, in Brooklyn, New York, Floyd Hayes, 47, has managed to register an unusual emotional support animal…er, “vegetable?”…he claims it does help alleviate anxiety and turns out to be “a cost-effective way to manage stress”…
Thanks for all the kind notes and thoughts this week—and have a great pre-Halloween weekend!
