La. Police: Barking Man Bites Mail Carrier

HOUMA, La. - A mail carrier got bitten — by a barking man, police said.

Mark D. Plumb, 20, of Butler, Mo., was arrested and charged with simple battery Wednesday after he ran barking from a house and bit the letter carrier on the shoulder, police spokesman Lt. Todd Duplantis said.

Plumb said he bit the carrier as a joke, and has no history of criminal activity or mental illness, police said.

Plumb was released from the Terrebonne Parish jail after posting $165 bond.

Man Fires Gun at Car to Silence Alarm

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - A man annoyed by a noisy car alarm fired at least three bullets into a Toyota Camry, silencing the alarm and bringing out police who hauled him away in handcuffs, authorities said.

David Owen Rye, 48, was arrested and booked for investigation of reckless discharge of a firearm and felony vandalism, Sgt. John Adamczyk said. Rye allegedly told officers he grabbed his handgun and went out to put a stop to the car alarm.

The owner of the Camry, a sailor whose ship the USS Theodore Roosevelt just returned from an eight-month cruise, was visiting a friend when he heard the gunfire at about 10 p.m. Tuesday, KCAL-TV reported.

"I mean, that's not a safe guy. I mean, you get upset over an alarm, over a noise like that, (then) there's some little kids making too much noise and he decides to do something awful," sailor Nicholas Moreno, 25, said.

Police were called to the Yosemite Avenue apartment building and Rye was ordered out of his apartment by an officer with a bullhorn. A Los Angeles Police Department helicopter also responded and Rye was arrested.

Neighbor Ken Davis said he heard gunshots and looked outside to see Rye holding a gun.

"It was little scary," Davis said. "I didn't know what kind of mood he was in. I didn't want to say anything to him."

It's just not a good time to be a boy scout right now

The latest in Boy Scout related injuries and deaths happened recently at a Boy Scout camp in New Jersey. An 8-year old girl was killed and 3 others were injured when a tree fell on top of them. Earlier this year, four adult Scout leaders were killed in a July electrical accident in Virginia at the National Boy Scout Jamboree, and five other people have died this summer from drowning and lightning during Scout outings in Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah and California. Nope. This is not a good time to be a Boy Scout.

Funny Stuff From George Carlin

"Isn't it time we stopped wasting valuable land on cemeteries? Talk about an idea whose time has passed: 'Let's put all the dead people in boxes and keep them in one part of town.' I say, plow 'em up and throw them away. Or melt them down. We need that phosphorous for farming. If we're going to recycle, let's get serious."

Another day, another 5 cents

It's Tuesday, but soon to be Wednesday, and that is a good thing. One day closer to the weekend. Since this Friday is our flex day, I get a nice 3-day weekend. That is a reason to smile :) But that may be the only reason to smile. Payday is not until next week, it is still hotter than hell outside (it's still 90 degrees outside at 9 pm and supposed to be 101 tomorrow), my arthritis is acting up big time tonite, and I am dog tired. I am probably just gonna take a shower and lie down til I fall asleep. I think this hot weather is making me tired all of the time. And grumpy! I ordered myself a telescope which I can't wait to get. I so wanna go stargazing! I even printed up a sky map (you can print one up yourself at http://skymaps.com) to aid in my star quest. I used to know where all the constellations were when I was a kid. I would spend countless hours just looking up at the night sky and reading astronomy books. My dad had a college astronomy book that he used when he was in school and I think I read that thing cover to cover when I was a kid. The scope is not supposed to arrive til Thursday though. It will at least arrive in time for the weekend. I am so excited that I feel like a little kid again - lol. I make it sound like I won the lottery or something. I know, it is just a telescope, but I have wanted one since I was a kid. I can't wait to check it out :)

Man Arrested After Series of Failed Crimes

SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah - A man with a knife tried unsuccessfully to rob two women, failed at breaking into an apartment, carjacked and crashed a vehicle and failed to get a woman to give him her toddler, authorities said.

Joe Lucero, 30, was taken to a hospital and was expected to remain there for several days for observation before being booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of multiple felonies, South Salt Lake Police Capt. Tracy Tingey said.

The crime spree began about 5:45 a.m. Sunday when a man attempted to rob two women at knife point in the parking lot of a convenience store, Tingey said.

When the women got away without giving him any money, he ran to an apartment complex tried to break into an apartment.

When that failed, the man crossed the street and forced two people out of a Jeep at knife point. He took off in the vehicle but rolled it, suffering cuts and bruises.

He then entered an apartment complex, and attempted to break into several apartments, leaving bloody handprints on the doorknobs, Tingey said.

The assailant then kicked in the door of the Hernandez family.

He barricaded himself and the family inside their apartment, and paced up and down screaming, "Police! I have a gun," Melva Hernandez said.

She grabbed her 18-month-old daughter, Esperanza, and hid her in the bedroom closet. The assailant broke a coffee table in the living room and then went into the bedroom and began tearing the sheets off the bed.

Melva Hernandez said she offered him money, but he refused and asked for the toddler.

"He looked at me and said, 'The baby,'" Melva Hernandez said. "That freaked me out. I said 'Uh-uh. You got to get through me.' "

When the man heard police cruisers approaching the apartment complex, he jumped out a bedroom window.

Police spotted Lucero and arrested him. He was transported to St. Mark's Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. Tingey said he became agitated at the hospital and had to be sedated.

Whole lotta spammin' going on

I am currently conducting a spam experiment to see just how much spam can build up in my bulk mail folder. As of today, there are 2909 spam messages in my folder. (I think it has been building up for 3 weeks now). I wonder how long it will take to reach 50,000. Probably not too long! It is sad just how much spam mail I get. I don't get nearly as much regular mail as I do spam, which is probably a good thing. There is no way I could keep up with it! Here are a few of the messages the spammers from all around have "blessed" my mailbox with:

(Oops! I forgot my wife!)

Man forgets wife at Italy petrol station for 6 hrs

ROME (Reuters) - A Macedonian man forgot his wife at an Italian service station and only realised he had driven off without her six hours later, news agency Ansa said on Monday.

The couple, who were travelling with their 4-year-old daughter, pulled over for petrol in the coastal city of Pesaro as they were heading back to their home to Germany.

After filling the tank, the husband drove away, without noticing that his 30-year-old wife, originally from Georgia, had got out of the car to go to the lavatory.

The woman, who had no money or documents with her, contacted the police who eventually traced her husband to Milan, some 340 km (210 miles) north of Pesaro, Ansa said.

The husband told police he hadn't missed his wife because she always sat in the back of the car with their daughter.

Actually, something similar to this actually happened to me in Las Vegas. I was shopping with my mom and my brother (my brother was driving), and when we went to the car, my brother unlocked all the doors, but the back door remained locked. I stood there waiting for him to unlock the door, but he took off without me! I thought he was playing a joke on me, so I stood there waiting for him to come back. When I saw him going out of the parking lot and onto the street, I knew that it wasn't just a joke. It took him and my mom maybe 15-20 minutes to realize that I wasn't in the car and come back for me. At least they came back and got me! Of course, my mom and brother found it very funny that they left me there, and now that I look back at it, it was really funny! But it wasn't funny at the time - lol.

It was nice while it lasted

This weekend, I went up to the mountains...to Tehachapi on Saturday, and Mt Pinos on Sunday. It was raining in Tehachapi, and I even saw some lightning (ok, we don't get much lightning in Bakersfield, so that was cool to me - lol). Mt Pinos was so nice and cool. It felt wonderful! Did a little hiking and had a nice time in the woods. Now I am back in the hell hole that is Bakersfield. Ugh. The cool weather was nice while it lasted!
