Car torched Bishopville

Someone torched a car in Bishopville last night...

So hot the door fell off and the glass on the windshield turned to goo.
Fire marshall and sheriff investigating No tags on it

Beach Just N/O Fenwick Island-The Delaware State Police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) are conducting an examination into items located by a surf fisherman on Friday July 8^th. 

 

The surf fisherman was on the beach just N/O Fenwick Island fishing, when his hook became entangled with debris.  The 67 year old Graysonville Maryland fisherman inspected the items more closely and discovered it to be a quantity of hair, a pair of sunglasses, a shark tooth necklace and hair bands. 

 

The items were not turned over to the State Police investigators until around 10 am this morning.  Delaware State Police took custody of the found items and have made arrangements for the quantity of hair to be turned over to OCME for additional examination.

 

The condition of the hair is described as having a decaying odor with varying quantities of snails, small crabs and other sea life entangled throughout.  The OCME will attempt to determine species and sex from the hair found.

 

Delaware State Police are continuing their investigation.

ORIGINAL STORY

Officers at Coast Guard Station Indian River tell WGMD that the fisherman caught the hair, along with some necklaces and a pair of sunglasses earlier this morning and brought them into the Coast Guard Station. Those items were then turned over to the State Police, who are just beginning their investigation.

Ice Station Zebra

Just another day ..  Without any football games to worry about......  just hockey
.....    in the winter that never ends..
When that first green beer hits the lips..... winter will be backing out the door.

Now there is "Officially" nothing to do here at the beach for the next 2 months.
If you have spare cash sitting around , ...its  time to book your flight to warmer shores.
Til then.....   I will continue to hunker down  and figure out ways to shave money from the electric and gas bills.

That is all...  Does any one have a can opener?

Guess I better start writing in this blog   before I get too bogged down.
Winter in OC   is very dreary,  actually  OC  is like a ghost town during the week.. Weekends offer a bit of excitement  usually from  the football games  in the local establishments. We have about 120 days of off season lock-down  and we are about 1/3 of the way through. This is the time of year when you or your friends are planning to get out of town  Anywhere!    For me  it was the desert in Arizona for a few weeks.  Unplanned though... My sweet mom passed into the great beyond  after a good run of 89 years...  so the family had an unplanned get together. Born in the Finger Lakes NY, survived  the Great Depression and aided the boys in WW2...successfully raised a family of five and retired to Sun City Az..  We gave her a great sendoff... She could have had heart surgery but made the decision against living into her 90's. Have to respect that.... GOD Speed mom ..    Save me a seat at Heaven's Bar.    So now its back to the resort deep freeze. Days are short, cold  and zip bye at amazing regularity. Really makes you feel like your timeline speeds up.
Jobs are fewer   money is tighter  bills are increasing....   Survival mode kicks in.   and then  
before you know it  we will be drinking green beer at Shenanigans...   that's when we turn the page in my book.... but until then  its  stoke the logs in the fireplace, keep the wine and beer stocked....  have the remote back-up batteries near, hit the gym and keep moving forward ......

Don't you think the ultra rich fat cats who own these oil wells would have had numerous plans already in place in the event of a catastrophe like this?  I mean  Come On! Its a shame that  the 4 or 5 states along the Gulf Coast  did not have a backup plan with the number of oil wells off their coast. Now they pay the ultimate price for being stupid. The blame game starts. Also   why have they not been laying down barriers night and day along the entire coast  before the oil arrives?  It's been nearly a month since the disaster and somehow the oil reaches the marshes.  Each state and county should be throwing their entire workforce into keeping this from reaching "their" shores..  Unreal.  Just give that bill to BP.......Did you see the viral video  of the 2 farmers who have the idea that all the hay and some other type of grain that they are harvesting down south right now  should be spread into the slick and the oil get absorbed  right into it  for easy cleanup.  Well   I guess that is too easy a solution and their is no profit to be made...or  lawyers  who can make profit on it .   Where is the leadership in our country when we need it? A sad state of affairs just keeps festering in America.

The NFL Fantasy

Dear Sports Fanatics.......Now that you have had  time to chill from your victory  or defeat  .  its time to take a step back and look at the big picture....I have learned over the years   thru many great wins  and  numerous  ugly losses  that the NFL does not send me a check  or cash for the effort.... .I have no stock in my  Steelers ...There are no pension checks  coming in the mail .  I have never received a stimulus payment from the Ravens .  So with that said ... why  should I   or anyone invest  so much of their time and energy on  any  team..  ???  It's   a false GOD

It is not worth being bummed out and depressed for days on end ,  or stressing pre-game  for a team  that I have nothing to do with. Why should I kick the dog   or not talk to the wife  because  Brady did not come through in the clutch. 

The countless hours I have wasted on the NFL and Steelers  when I could have been more productive with my time, my work and family....the yard.......the things that really count in life..    

People are living their lives thru these teams ...   Spending enormous amounts of time and money and unneeded stress    for what????   I'll tell you what...     chachinggggggg   the cash registers ring...non stop

to make the NFL and it's sponsors  richer..!!!!   That's  all it is   ONE HUGE MONEY MACHINE  that we poor suckers  buy into.   How much Bud Lite  can they force feed you in commercials..How many more Geico ads do they have to cram in our brains.  If I see one more Progressive Insurance spot with that stupid Flo...  I am moving to Haiti.!  6 dollar beers, 5 dollar hotdogs , $20 dollar premium parking .. and a $175  dollar tickets  to a seat in the upper deck...  to watch a bunch of overpaid premadonna- tattooed hip hop dancing , gang sign flashing ...... smack talking , gun toting  dredlock wearing  steroid injected  thug...  do his, I'm the Greatest "dance in the endzone.   Lets celebrate  a basic  sack  like we just won the Freeking Superbowl Baby!! ..Lets forearm shiver some  guys head into  concussionville   and dance on his limp body   because  " I am One  Bad Mo Fo Yo"   Look at me... Send me mo money   ....... 

Its not your fathers NFL anymore.  Its a pre-packaged  sydicated network  corporate marketing plan designed specifically   for all the suckers   that have no lives   that wanna live their life  thru the glories of a football team  that makes them feel  less like the loser they really are.

Paint their faces and put on their  Raider costumes so they can get noticed,,, Wear a rubber dog mask and get some cheap laughs  and maybe get on Prime Time....., Pay $125 for a Ben Roelisberger shirt   so they can be like Ben  or  be a tough guy steppin out on the town in my  Ray Lewis shirt  ,, etc....IT'S A FANTASY PEOPLE!!   WAKE UP!!    Quit beating your wife because your team did not cover the spread.....

Enjoy reality    everyday reality.....    thats where you get paid big time........Jack

ps   Are the Jets getting 5.5  or 7 pts. this weekend?
