Man Shoots Lawn Mower

I'll be damned if I haven't want to do this to my old mower a few times.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.
Keith Walendowski told police he felt he had a right to shoot his mower.

Keith Walendowski has been charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski says he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.

He told police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered

Texas Flood

Thought I would put this up for my boys (and girls) and family down in Texas.

Stay dry.

Shoe Fetish?

I noticed this morning that I am missing a shoe. They come in pairs and now I only have one. I wore them on Sunday, so I know they were here two days ago. They were sitting on the sun porch at the back door with about 30 other pairs of shoes.

These are not special shoes. They are brown McClain wingtips and I have grown rather fond of them in the 3 years I have had them.

Who in the hell steals one shoe? The back door is open during the day, but locked at night and guarded by motion sensor alarms and an IR camera. My wife and son swear they are not screwing with me and I have searched everywhere for it.

I want my fucking shoe back!

Shit

I am trying to switch this blog over to Wordpress and have to do so manually. I get as far as running the install after setting up the db in MySQL and keep getting a 404 not found error.

I have been using WP for the News section of The American Repossessor and really like the way it looks and the ease of use.

I am going to delete all and reinstall it one more time. I am sure I am just placing a period or a slash in the wrong spot, but I'll be damned if I can find the error in any of the code.

Going Down?

I paid $4.07 on Saturday when I got gas for the lawn tractor. I went today to get fuel for the car and paid $3.95.

12 cents is a heck of a drop for just 2 days.

I heard that US Olympiads are training in California for the Beijing by running thru a forest fire, sucking on an exhaust pipe.

Ok, I reconstituted that one from the 84 Olympics in LA, but it works better for Beijing.
