I’m catching up on the news. This item caught my eye. A bank robber in #Pittsburgh has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. It seems he was apprehended after he stopped to bum a cigarette from a construction worker. He’s probably glad that he took only one. Ten years for bumming a cigarette seems too lenient. His lawyer argued that he had a life-long problem with alcohol and therefore should get a shorter sentence. Huh??? I would argue that his addictions led him to a life of crime. Asking for help AFTER he was caught is a little too late. I think he might sober up in ten years. He might even quit smoking. Good luck with that.
Here’s another item that piqued my interest. In Ashland, #Oregon a black bear cub found wandering in a drugstore will be given a year of rehab so it can return to the wild from whence it recently came. What? I should point out that one year is more rehab than #BobFilner, ex-mayor of #SanDiego received before he was returned to the wild (out of office). #RobFord, current mayor of #Toronto, took two months for rehab and still is not ready to be turned out of office. Why does this wild bear need one year of rehab? How long does it take to teach a bear to crap in the woods? I don’t know the answer.
This out of #Springfield, MO. A funeral director is sending his father’s ashes up in fireworks followed with a cookout and memorial celebration. It reminded me of a guy in #China who took a teaspoon of gun powder every day for his health. He lived to be 102 years old. When he was cremated, he blew a hole ten feet wide in the crematorium (author unknown). This is just another reason not to make an ash of yourself.
That’s all the news I care to print for now.
