Living in the Woods

A British man ran away from home.  Yep, an adult can do it too.  He claims that after he got married, his wife nagged him way too much and he decided he couldn't take it anymore.  He lived in the woods for 10 years before being coaxed out by a non-profit group that gives a person a place to live and a job if they really need it.  A friend told him about the opportunity and he's now happy in his new home.  There's no word on what happened to his wife but he did contact his sister who thought he was dead.  Source: Fox News

Speed Trap

A man in Pennsylvania set up a fake speed trap near his home.  He used flashing dashboard lights in his vehicle to slow the traffic going by his house.  His complaints about the speeders got no results so he took matters into his own hands hoping that slowing the drivers would stop deer from being killed and stinking up the area.  He said that the tactic was working but he's the one who got the ticket.  He's being charged with impersonating a public servant and displaying improper lights.  Source: Yahoo News

Prepper Donates

Joseph Badame and his wife had been preppers since 1970.  They spent about a million dollars outfitting their basement with several kitchens, bathrooms, and a bomb shelter.  It was filled with survival manuals and enough food to feed 84 people for 4 months.  Unfortunately his wife suffered a massive stroke in 2005.  Joseph refinanced their home for a half-million dollars and used the money to care for his wife until her passing in 2013.  At that point he was broke.  He lost his wife, had no job, and his home was in foreclosure.  At the estate sale, he met a couple  that gave him a new purpose in his life.  He donated $100 to the couple who were raising money for hurricane victims in Puerto Rico. But above and beyond that, he gave the couple his entire stockpile of 80 barrels of dried beans, rice, flour, sugar, pancake mixes, and more.  Source: Yahoo News
