came prepared with aerial spy photographs of the animal shelter, perhaps taken with a drone, showing evidence that the baby deer had been walking in and out of the barn.
"If a sheriff's department is going in to do a search warrant on a drug bust, they don't call them and ask them to voluntarily surrender their marijuana or whatever drug that they have before they show up," Niemeyer said.Slightly edited to make the "Executive Summary" make a little more sense...
Here is nothing missing, but a cat urinated on this during a certain night. Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night in Deventer and because of it many others [other cats] too. And beware well not to leave open books at night where cats can come.h/t Sarah Hoyt on Facespace.
Live Oak — Two Live Oak men were involved in a helicopter crash in St. Lucie County around 9 a.m. Saturday morning, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office.Apparently, Mas posted elsewhere that they were out hunting feral hogs, which is often done from a helicopter, as it is a recognized and effective means of controlling the population of an invasive species which is devastating to agriculture. (The fact that it's fun is a bonus.) Mr Ayoob also posted that the pilot's skill prevented the accident from being worse. There's a reason rotary-wing pilots practice auto-rotation. (I hated auto-rotation practice...)
Jonathan Strayer, 46, and Massad Ayoob, 64, were treated and released at Raulerson Memorial Hospital in Okeechobee, as was the pilot, William Harward, 55, Miami.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Before his now-infamous tangle with a Bronx Zoo tiger, David Villalobos adorned his Facebook page with New Age odes to Mother Earth and affirmations like, "Be love and fearless."h/t Drudge
Police said Saturday that Villalobos had told detectives that it was without fear that he leaped from an elevated train into the animal's den. His reason, they said, was that "he wanted to be one with the tiger."
Villalobos also recounted how, after he landed on all fours, the 400-pound beast attacked him and dragged around by his foot, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne. Despite serious injuries, he claimed he was able to get his wish and pet the tiger - a male Siberian named Bashuta - before his rescue, the spokesman added.
It has come to my attention that Elisa Hahn, from King 5 News, presented a report on the Sept. 20 newscast about a woman who was walking her two dogs in West Hylebos Park and was surrounded by an aggressive pack of coyotes.Came home from work one night and spotted a 'yote trotting down the side-street, heading away from Neue Schloss Drang. Had a black bear wandering around Weyerhauser's HQ a couple years ago, just a mile or two from here. And cougars have been spotted, too, and I'm not talking the two-legged kind, either.
The fur persons do not understand why we don't like them being out after dark, of course. Ratbane, especially...
I swear, they are trying to repeal the Industrial Revolution.Note to self, add rat poison to Big Box Store shopping list, alongside incandescent bulbs...
