From Hither to Yon

Wow, I saw the following headline and thought they were still talking about the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby.

"DNA to Clear 200th Person."

But then I read on: 200th person exonerated by DNA evidence that had to do with crimes.




New York Duo Sets Sail on 1,000-Day Cruise


HOBOKEN, N.J. - He's a veteran of long-distance sailing voyages in all kinds of weather. She's never sailed outside the Hudson River.

But together, 55-year-old Reid Stowe and his 23-year-old girlfriend, Soanya Ahmad, embarked Saturday on a voyage that they intend to take them three times around the globe and last 1,000 days and nights -- nonstop, with no port calls for supplies or a walk on solid ground.

One of those previous voyages was a 200-day trip with his wife in 1999. They're divorced now, but she gave him and Ahmad a life raft for their journey, and joined his mom and dad on the Hoboken dock to wave goodbye Saturday.


I ask you, would you accept that life raft?

Wait til they try to inflate it and it has holes in it.

Who is so stupid as to trust an ex?

She had a big smile on her face as she waved good-bye!!!!






Jeep runs over man while he’s in bed

Vehicle crashes into apartment; victim ‘lucky to be alive’


ROANOKE, Va. - The underside of a car is a familiar sight to auto mechanic Dean Blevins. Seeing one on top of him at 2:30 in the morning, while he was in bed -- that was new. A Jeep crashed through a wall of Blevins' apartment early Tuesday and pinned him in his bed. It took firefighters an hour to free him, but he suffered only minor bruises and scrapes.

As he saw the vehicle's engine above him and felt hot antifreeze splash onto his face, Blevins said, his initial thoughts were less about his injuries than about going after the driver.

Now that's a real wake up call.

Beep Beep here comes the Jeep!!






Speaking of wake up calls:

Woman Dies on Flight, Gets Upgraded


A first-class passenger on a flight from New Delhi to London awoke to find the corpse of a woman who had died in the economy cabin being placed in a seat next to him, British Airways said Monday.

Paul Trinder, 54, said cabin crew moved the body of the elderly woman from the economy section where she had died after take-off.

"The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor," Trinder , a businessman, was quoted as saying. "It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows."


How would you like to get on a nine hour flight, doze off, and then wake up with a dead person next to you?

Especially one that keeps falling down to the floor.

I would demand her mileage points since she no longer would have a use for them!!!!!





Speaking of flying:

Does anyone know someone like this?


A 136-kilogram pig, was allowed to fly first class on a six-hour flight from Philadelphia to Seattle.

Its owners claimed it was a ''therapeutic companion pet'' and produced a doctor's note.

The pig rampaged through the aisles, and at one point attempted to enter the cockpit by charging the door.

It took four cabin attendants to remove the pig from the aircraft, but once inside the terminal it escaped.

Funny how people can con their Doctors!!

Flew first class no less!! Well, when he was in his seat that is!!!





In closing:


As I'm sure you have all heard by now, the world renown Blue Angels Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron lost one of their own this weekend.

In Memoriam
Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Davis
Blue Angels' No. 6







He now flies with God's Angels.
