Honolulu, Hawaii … The state library system is looking for a way to save money. They like the rest of America, have a budget deficit, so they are trying to cut expenses and are not going to purchase $400,000 books, save an additional $180K by not filling vacancies and cut $600K from power bills and utility usage in a power saving measure. Now lets see, a library without new books, cutting the power, as long as you are able to read in the dark, I don’t see a problem with that.
Temper -Temper. Benjamin Pontiatowski, 21, was charged two parking tickets on his two vehicles he owned, he in turn got so mad, that when he found the tickets, he ripped them up (in front of the trooper who had just issued them, not a smart move) and deposited them on the ground. The trooper then wrote him another ticket for littering and he was allowed to drive off.
But wait it gets even worse. A woman in Fort Walton Beach, Florida while walking with her two children was nearly run over by another woman in an automobile. So she gently approached the driver to let her know that her and her two children were alright and unhurt. Inexplicably, the driver of the car erupted, and when the woman tried to calm her by offering her a church brochure, the furious driver took it, grabbed her pants and jerked them down, and proceeded to wipe a part of her body with it, while the other woman shielded the eyes of her two children.
And worser … A judge in Grants Pass, Oregon sentenced a 26 year old woman to 20 days in jail and ordered her to pay a fine of $104,000 for setting up her grandparents for a burglary that eventually left their RV and a Jaguar dumped in the Rogue River. She blamed her actions on a methamphetamine habit. Now where in the world is a tweaker going to come up with $104K … They can kiss that one goodbye.
Is it me, or is everyone starting to act like they are wound a little too tight here lately?
Don’t do that … It’ll Make You Go Blind. You ever get caught doing something you were not supposed to be doing by your mother and she would say, “Don’t do that, it will make you go blind.” My mother caught me and said that to me. We (a buddy and myself) were lying on our backs in the backyard staring at an eclipse of the sun, and we did not have enough photo negatives to block out the intense light from the star. My mother went into the house, got us some more negatives (too make the home-made event observer considerably darker) and then we were allowed to continue. More ….
Often when I am reading the latest media news and I come across something that Bush said, it makes me wonder what color the sky is, in his little world. Now Bush Claims He Worked ‘Closely’ With Vets Organizations On GI Bill. But the VFW said It ‘Didn’t Have Much Input. Once again, he steps up to the plate to try and steal someone else’s thunder and it backfires in his face. More …
Peeping Tom – (Not for Kids) Email of the week … This girl I know lives on the 4th floor of an apartment, and even though it is a fairly good neighborhood, she has been having trouble with a Peeping Tom that lives next door. Every time she goes out on her balcony to catch a bit of sun while wearing her bikini, this Peeping Tom looks over from his balcony as soon as she removes her top, and stares at her. She has complained to the superintendent about this Peeping Tom, but he says she must have positive proof before he can do a thing.
She FINALLY got a picture of him while he was staring at her …
