With freezing temps and snow in the forecast, we opted for a hotel on Knoxville. I picked up a copy of the 10/23 US Today to read the news by the pool.
“DC – …Pokeman character accused of trying to jump the White House fence…”
“Ohio – Orphaned manatees arrive…” They are Florida natives. Why send them to Ohio? Will this somehow balance all of those Ohio natives that go to Florida for the winter?
“Nebraska – … prison officials will continue double bunking in solitary…” Nebraska apparently does not understand the meaning of the word solitary.
“Pennsylvania – … a man wearing a Halloween mask attacked his neighbor with a rusty hatchet…” Yep, its the end of October.
“Rhode Island – The National Sailing Hall of Fame …” I never knew there was such a thing. “… is considering moving it headquarters from Newport…” Well if there was a sailing hall of fame, Newport is where I would expect it. Where will they go, the great sailing town of….Pawtucket?
“South Dakota – A long time sex shop owner…” I was already laughing at this point. “…denied a permit for Dick and Jane’s Naughty Spot…”
Maybe I should read the paper more often…
