In Today's News

Welcome to another edition of today's news. :) Before we get started with today's report I have an announcement to make. A little change of plans, the special thread that I was planning on opening this weekend has been pushed back to next weekend because I'm still going to try and go to the beach next week. This weekend I have my annual (usual what would have been end of summer) town parade and festival to attend. So that's why it was originally scheduled for this weekend. Anyways, I decided for this reason to do a little explaining about what it's going to be to have you start thinking about it.




Every year when I declare summer to be unofficially over I start getting ready for Halloween which is the most spooktactular time of the year! Ghosts, ghouls, and goblins galore! :shock So here's the thing, a show of hands,.. how many of you on here reading this right now enjoy horror movies? *instantly raises hand* So now I bet you can guess what the new thread is going to be about. If you enjoy horror movies start thinking about which movie is your favorite and why because it's going to come up again trust me. However, talk about Halloween the holiday itself will not be discussed until October so I don't want any of the *blah* *blah* *blah* nonsense on why it's evil, satanic, etc. :rolleyes You will have plenty of time to start listing your complaints then.




Anyways, now that I have finished explaining all of that exciting news, on with today's report! :salute




First of all in today's news, the music world is mourning another loss as the former guitarist of the legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd passed away yesterday at the age of sixty-eight. :sad (and yes there will be a tribute for him at the end of today's report.

Here's just an update to that "crocodile" story,.. I don't believe that there are any crocodiles in Florida and I'm pretty sure that it was supposed to say an alligator instead.
 
That was one smart crocodile. I hope I don't run into him.

Good going trooper Will Head.

Maybe zoos will bring back rhinos from the edge of extinction.

Pink has a nice voice.

Have a wonderful day also, and may the Lord bless you.

Hmm,.. it's funny that you should mention that. I watched this video not too long ago and it's actually really rather difficult to tell the difference while giving them a quick glance. Oh by the way, did you see the picture of the snapping turtle that I recently saw yet in the photography gallery?

Phew! That's all for today's news and just like a lot of previous times before, it was definitely more than I expected! :thudAnyways have a wonderful weekend everybody (I know I will since I'm going out to supper tonight, going to a parade tomorrow, and of course the person I roleplay with will be out of school, so I will be able to do that as well as enjoying the beautiful weather! :thumbsup) and stay tuned for more news to come! :yes


 
On your link to the school assignment article, I noticed that there were no more snow days. Students will now do their assignments on-line, instead of adding days on in the spring. That's a good idea. Now they will have summers free to play, and start bringing education into the 21st century.

A 600 foot secret tunnel in Arizona. Tunnels are regularly used in the Middle East, and other war zones. The Israelis have developed sensors to detect enemies digging tunnels. I'm not surprised they are used on the border. I'm just surprised that they didn't do a better job of using a front business to avoid suspicion.

Good going nurse who rescued that infant from a quarter.

Have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy your dinner out.
