These days, everyone is on the internet. Some sites are more entertaining than others. With the diversity of this big country, it should surprise no one that some of the best sites are out it the big country. PG stumbled onto a site from KRMG , a talk radio station in Tulsa, OK. If you click in the right place, you can have the Rush Limbaugh show streamed to your computer.
The big ad at the top is from Danny Myers, who fixes wrecked vehicles. Another ad shows a pretty girl, in red high heels, on a rope ladder. If you click there, and enter your age in the box, you can find out how to refinance your home.
The story that got PG onto the KRMG site involves a house fire in Obion County, TN. It seems as though the fire department there has a policy that you pay a $75 a year fee, or you are not protected from fires. The firefighters were called to a house, but the owner had not paid the annual fee. The firefighters watched the house burn to the ground. “It wasn’t until that fire spread to a neighbor’s property, that anyone would respond. Turns out, the neighbor had paid the fee.” That is the thing about community…fires do spread.
There are some more stories that are not as hot. Pictures for today’s entertainment are from ” The Special Collections and Archives,Georgia State University Library”.
“DAD STASHES POT IN SON’S ELMO BACKPACK: A Pennsylvania man is in jail after pleading guilty to hiding his pot stash in his kid’s backpack. Ronald Washington, 33, called his son’s school when he realized the child took the drug-filled Elmo backpack to school. When he told school officials that he needed to get something from the bag, the officials searched it and found more than three ounces of pot. Washington plead guilty to marijuana possession charges and endangering the welfare of children. He’ll be sentenced next week.”
“RACINE, Wis. (Oct. 3) – Emergency crews in Wisconsin used a ladder truck to rescue 17 people trapped on a Ferris wheel. The ride was one of the attractions at Party on the Pavement in Racine, about 30 miles south of Milwaukee. Officials say emergency crews were called about 1 p.m. Saturday after it appeared the ride fell out of alignment and got stuck. No one was hurt, but it took about two hours to stabilize the wheel before the rescues began.”
“The parents of a New York teen killed in a car crash five years ago are suing the city’s medical examiner for keeping their dead son’s brain floating in a jar at the morgue for months without telling them. But what’s worse is how they found out: The boy’s classmates, including his girlfriend, spotted it labeled with his name while they were on a school field trip to the mortuary. “A couple of the kids noticed it immediately, and the kids who knew him became really distraught,” Andre and Korisha Shipley’s lawyer, Marvin Ben-Aron, told The New York Post. Some of the students even took cell phone photos of the brain floating in a jar, before they were confiscated by their teacher, he said. Jesse Jerome Shipley, a 17-year-old student at Staten Island’s Port Richmond High School, died from skull fractures suffered during a car accident on Jan. 9, 2005. “
“Forget drafty windows and aging cars — a new study says one of the biggest wastes of energy in America could be the food in your garbage can. Every rotten tomato or unwanted chicken wing represents wasted energy, since the calories in the food are never consumed. And the energy that went into growing the food, processing it, packaging it and transporting it to the consumer is also wasted. Each year, American food waste represents the energy equivalent of 350 million barrels of oil, according to new research from the University of Texas. That’s enough to power the whole country for a week — just sitting in the trash can rotting.”
“MANATEE, Fla., Oct. 1 (UPI) — Police in Florida said a suspect arrested for drug possession denied ownership of the cocaine he was found to be concealing in his buttocks. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office said Raymond Stanley Roberts, 25, was pulled over at 8:40 a.m. Wednesday in Manatee and the deputy writing the speeding ticket detected the odor of marijuana in the car, The Bradenton Herald reported Friday. Roberts admitted to smoking marijuana the previous evening and invited deputies to search his car, the sheriff’s office report said. Deputies searching Roberts’ person discovered a soft object in his buttocks that Roberts then took out and gave to the deputies, who identified it as a baggie of marijuana. Deputies said they found a second soft object in Roberts’ buttocks that was removed and identified as cocaine. “The white stuff is not mine, but the weed is,” the report quotes Roberts as saying to deputies.”
