Instant Karma or No Honor Among Thieves

Today's post sounds like something that would happen in Florida,but this time the dishonor goes to Alberta,Canada. Two men were caught on camera apparently trying to find something to steal out- side of a doggy daycare named Central Bark. One picked up a broken sign while the other grabbed a garbage bag filled with feces. The man with the bag was making his way to the back of the van when the other man either got spooked by something or caught a whiff of what was in the bag, jumped behind the wheel quickly reversing and taking out the man with the bag with the open passenger door. The second man ran off on foot. Really,what treasures did they expect to find at a doggy daycare?

Sing-a-Ride

A promotion by a northern Europe clean energy company is offering a singalong shuffle courtesy of electrically powered BMW i3 for a song. What that means is the riders have to sing while in the vehicle or the driver stops. The reason is twofold,obviously to demonstrate how quiet the electric cars are and secondly to promote music as this is all taking place Ruisrock music festival in Turku,Finland. I can't help but wonder what the driver would do with a truly terrible singer? Would they really want them to keep singing,or would they happily make an exception?

Not What You Think

Chlorine is one of the most recognizable smells and it's mainly associated with clean things,but as it turns out that doesn't apply to pools. When you smell a strong chlorine smell at a pool it is because the pool is not properly treated and the smell is actually a chemical irritant called chloramines which occur when chlorine combines with urine,feces,sweat and dirt from swimmers bodies meaning the water is anything but clean. The chloramines are also responsible for the burning and red eyes. Next time you smell what you think is too much chlorine remember it is a warning that more chlorine is needed. This explains why the local pool smells so strongly of chlorine,so much so that I quit swimming there because I could still smell and taste it for at least a day after swimming there...Yuck!

Necco Madness

Chalk this one up to either weird addictions or being a resident of Florida. A 23 year old Florida woman who was in a panic over the possible closure of the Necco plant in Massachusetts contacted Candystore.com offering to trade her 2003 Honda Accord for their supply of Necco wafers. She was turned down but went ahead and ordered 48 rolls with her credit card...go ahead and explain how this is normal,I'll wait. Never mind that the candy is disgusting,at best it tastes like chalk,and in keeping with the theme of making disgusting candies they also manufacture candy hearts.

A Lift Home

A 34 year old Montana woman borrowed a front end loader at 3 a.m. Sunday and drove it 5 miles to her apartment complex where she drove it through a fence and into the side of the building. She then climbed the digger arm of the machine to get into her second story window so she could get clothes to cover her toplessness. It's nice to see that other states take up the crazy mantle when Florida needs some well deserved rest. The woman had been arrested before on various drug charges and resisting arrest. This incident earned her a new charge of felony criminal mischief and felony criminal damage. Perhaps she can parlay her experiences into a full time career.

That Explains a Lot

The Indiana State Police conducted patrols in concert with nine other agencies on US 31 between June 19th-21st and June 26th-28th to catch suspects transporting drugs. The agencies participating in Operation Blue Anvil made 129 arrests on 272 drug related charges including 48 felonies. The officers seized drugs including cocaine,heroin,LSD,marijuana,meth,psilocybin mushrooms and ecstasy pills shaped like Trump's head and stamped with the words,"GREAT AGAIN".
