Deer Accident....
Victim identified in Clare Co. Motorcycle/Deer Accident
People think I make this stuff up and I don't. Hey, they are rural rats right now there are so many of them and people die because of car/deer accidents and motorcycle/deer accidents and the deer die of starvation if they are not harvested. So why not give the meat to soup kitchens and food pantry's if your not going to eat it and give their lives at least some meaning.

Only in Northern Michigan
a 2006 Buick LaCrosse driven by 87-year-old Onalee Swindlehurst was jammed into the side of the building.
Ciochetto said that Swindlehurst told him that "her foot slipped."
Swindlehurst, a lifelong resident of Rosebush, was on her way to the post office to drop off some mail, her son Lynn Swindlehurst, said.
"If my mother were here, she would say 'I'm mad, I'm upset, that I did this,'" Lynn Swindlehurst said.
Swindlehurst said that his mother called him from the back seat of her car.
"An OnStar operator called me at work," Swindlehurst said. "I wondered what they wanted, and she told me that my mother wanted to talk to me. "And that she was in an accident."
Swindlehurst said that he is his mother's insurance agent, and that her automobile insurance would pay for the damage to her car and to the post office."
Ciochetto said that no one else was in the car, and alcohol was not a factor. Swindlehurst was taken to the hospital after complaining she had chest pain.
"The airbag was deployed," Chiochetto said. "When I arrived, she was alert."

Baltimore celebrates Poe's funeral in Poe style
(ARA) - Two hundred years ago, a man remembered for his dark sense of mystery, macabre stories and questionable sanity was born. Edgar Allan Poe is one of Baltimore's most famous residents, and his adoptive city is having a huge celebration this fall complete with displays of works inspired by his chilling tales and a funeral celebration around his grave.
Baltimore recognizes Poe in many ways - the Baltimore Ravens are named after one of his well-known characters, every year on the anniversary of his death the mysterious Poe Toaster anonymously leaves three roses and a bottle of cognac on his gravestone, and there are rumors of his ghost haunting Baltimore's The Horse You Came In On Saloon, one of the last places he was seen alive.
The Baltimore Museum of Art will be hosting an exhibition featuring works of art inspired by Poe's frightful tales and poems. Opening on Oct. 4 and extending into January, the exhibition will include rare prints, drawings and book illustrations, and will be accompanied by live performances, poetry workshops and film screenings, including the 48-hour film project which had a film team who had a Poe character, a line of dialogue from one of his works, a theme and 48 hours to complete their movie.
Just so happens I was there less than two weeks ago....

The owner, Jeffrey Hunter, (back from his appearance as captain of the Enterprise in the pilot for the original star trek series...Ooops wrong Jeffrey Hunter....Or is he???) moved back to his home state of Michigan because of the legalization of medical Marijuana. He had been working in Nevada producing Medical Marijuana.
His new business does not grow marijuana, only provides growing tools to help others do so.

Goodbye Delphi sign: familiar Saginaw landmark comes down today
By Eric English | The Saginaw News
October 06, 2009, 8:09AM
Workers today began taking down the familiar red-lettered Delphi sign at the corporation's complex at 3900 E. Holland. The sign is visible to motorists on Interstate 75.
A spokesman for Delphi Saginaw Steering Systems said the sign removal is a harbinger of Troy-based Delphi's emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy expected sometime this week.
"In preparation for our day one activities and transition to becoming a stand-alone and separate entity, as a GM subsidiary, we have begun the process of removing existing signage at the Saginaw site," David Barnas, a spokesman for Delphi Steering, said today.
Delphi Steering will soon have a new name - and a new sign - when it joins General Motors Co., Barnas said.
Don't worry folks their probably going to take it to the Smithsonian where they will use it in their "What Else Can Screw Up Big in Michigan" exhibit.

HOLLYWOOD, CA—Critic Kate Ward told reporters Monday that she has given director Stewart Hendler a chance to reshoot his horror-thriller Sorority Row and improve upon the 'D' grade he received in her recent Entertainment Weekly review of the film.

'We Know It's Good, And That's Enough' Says CEO.Pentagon Report Concludes Too Many Soldiers Have Same Nickname
ARLINGTON, VA—An inquiry into last month's fatal midair collision of fighter planes piloted by Maj. John 'Scorch' Basin and Col. Keith 'Scorch' Vitullo has found that a dangerous number of U.S. servicemen use the same nickname. 'For commanders on the ground, calling out 'O-Ring' or 'Stroke' and having multiple heads turn poses a logistical nightmare and a grave risk to our troops in the field,' chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael 'Scorch' Mullen told reporters Tuesday.
My Living Nightmare Of Encouraging Kids To Read Is Over
Thank god.
After 26 long years, I can finally rest easy. Twenty-six years I spent standing in front of a camera, gritting my teeth, and shilling the latest works of every hack children's book author imaginable. For 26 years, I've told kids they could open a magical door to another world just by reading a book, when the only door it ever opened for me led to a soul-sucking career in the horrifying abyss of public television.
