Guns Guns Everywhere, and Not a Bit Safer

Read moreNews Roundup for The Week Ending April 11, 2008
This is the catch all basket for odd news items for the week ending April 11, 2008. We’ve got an escaped monkey in Orlando, Verizon employees picketing because their customer service is so bad, and a guy hitting a police horse.

Read moreBaggage Handling at Tampa Airport
The Tampa Tribune is reporting that airport police have arrested three baggage handlers from Delta Global Services (contracted to handle Continental Airlines baggage) at TIA. It seems they had quite the little theft ring going stealing all sorts of electronics and sunglasses.
Read moreDitching Daylight Savings Time in Florida?
It seems that State Senator Bill Posey wants to end Daylight Savings time in Florida. According to him it’s just too much trouble to change all the clocks and watches.

We’re well into the new year already, and I’m just now getting around to writing about the holidays. I suppose that is because it wasn’t one of the better holidays.
