rescued

A dog went overboard near Hernando Beach in the Gulf of Mexico
while his owner had gone below deck to check on something.  When he returned, his dog was missing.  He searched as long as he was able but thought that he had lost his "baby" forever.  Luckily another boater spotted something bobbing in the water and realized it was a dog when it swam toward his boat.  The dog was reunited with it's owner at a Coast Guard station and everyone agreed that the only reason that the dog survived it's 3 hour ordeal in the water was that it was wearing a doggy life vest.  lucky dog

fire hero jailed

19 year old Lawson Michael Schalm was very helpful as a volunteer fire fighter.  He joined his fellow fire fighters in extinguishing a string of blazes.  Some of the fires were so bad that places had to be evacuated and one destroyed a historic bridge.  But Lawson wasn't satisfied with waiting for fires to happen...he started them.  He's been arrested for arson on 18 counts.  arsonist

Happy Star Wars Day

May the 4th be With You!  This is my favorite day of the year.  I get to wear my Star Wars pants and shirt today.  The only other day I get to do that is when I go to Comic Con.  Well I can wear them other days but I get funny looks.  So to all the other Star Wars geeks out there...enjoy the day!  May the 4th...

strange foam

After the recent earthquakes in Japan, one town was covered in a strange foam.  Residents have no idea what it was or why it was there.  Some called it disgusting but most just found it interesting.  It looks like snow in the pictures.  covered in foam

Lock up the expensive stuff

I went shopping yesterday at a big box store.  I wanted a small can of cologne because mine was empty.  The thing was locked up behind glass so I had to get a person to help me.  It was $2.98 so I certainly couldn't figure out why it was locked in a case but I waited quite a while until she got there so I could get one.  After taking it out of the case, she informed me that it would be waiting for me at the register.  What?  Really?  Did she just tell me that I looked like a thief?  For a $2.98 spray can of cologne!  I have decided that I will buy it online from now on because I'm certainly not going back to that store to ever buy it again and I'll probably get it a lot sooner.
