Good Morning Humboldt County!
Good to see you. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s have a stare…at today’s headlines.
Stop coddling the super-rich, Warren Buffett says
"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice," The 80-year-old "Oracle of Omaha" wrote in an opinion article in The New York Times.
Weird Contest Week offers something to chew on
When the going gets weird, the weird get going, putting on events dedicated to the odd, the offbeat and the unusual. And they don’t get any more unusual than Weird Contest Week, in Ocean City, N.J. Running August 15–19, the event is a celebration of silliness.
How weird? Well, chew on this: On Wednesday, August 17, the featured event is “That’s the Way the Cookie Crumbles,” in which contestants munch on cookies until they’re mush, disgorge them and then sculpt them into works of art.
Frozen squirrels used for criminal purposes
You may have heard of animals being used in the course of crimes, but I bet you never heard about the use of frozen squirrels to do bad things.
Three men stealing car tire rims used frozen squirrels to keep mean dogs occupied as they did their thing. There’s more nutty uses of squirrels in crime. Just go to this site (link above).
Even when the squirrels aren’t involved in crime, they can still be a hazard:
Iced squirrels are a problem too. One insurance company paid off a claim when a frozen squirrel fell out of a tree and crashed through a man’s windshield!
Time to walk on down the road…
