  1. A 13-year-old boy is accused of murdering a Colorado grandfather over a dispute he was blocking the aisle on a public bus last week as relatives were told the man had died when they tried to file a missing person report days later. Richard Sanchez, 60, was killed only a few blocks away from his home while riding an RTD bus last Saturday night after he allegedly got into an argument with a teenage straphanger, according to Fox 31. The shooting happened around 6:41 p.m. at the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue — about 3 miles from Empower Field at Mile High, the Denver Broncos’ stadium. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A second person was hurt and treated at the scene and did not require hospitalization, police said. Less than a week after the heartless killing, police arrested a 13-year-old suspected in connection to Sanchez’s murder on Thursday. Police believe the argument between the alleged killer and Sanchez started over the elderly man blocking the aisle with his leg. It's articles like this that make me (sort of) understand @WilliamM's obsession with the NY Post's reporting standards.
  2. Sam Waterston, who’s played DA Jack McCoy on “Law & Order” for more than 400 episodes, is leaving the NBC warhorse. His last episode will air Feb. 22. Tony Goldwyn, 63, is tagging in for Waterston, 83, playing the new district attorney. Waterston, who was nominated for three Emmys in the late ’90s for his work on “Law & Order,” joined the show in its fourth season on NBC in 1994. He spent the next 16 years playing McCoy, and returned in 2022 when “Law & Order” was jump-started after a 12-year hiatus — making him the longest-running cast member in the show’s 23-season history. “The time has come for me to move on and take Jack McCoy with me,” Waterston said in a statement on Friday. “There’s sadness in leaving, but I’m just too curious about what’s next. An actor doesn’t want to let himself get too comfortable,” he continued. “I’m more grateful to you than I can say.” “L&O’s continuing and amazing long run, along with its astounding comeback, is all thanks to you and [series creator] Dick Wolf, but for whose vision, patience, perseverance and unique combination of creative and business talents, none of this would have happened.” “I feel very blessed,” he said. “I hope to see you all on the flip side.” Waterston was enthusiastic about the recent revival of “Law & Order.” “Well, obviously, I love it,” the actor said in an interview last year. “I wondered whether I hadn’t already done this and shouldn’t go back. “But I couldn’t stand the idea of somebody else doing it and me watching from the sidelines, so I gave it a try and I’m having a wonderful time.”
  3. MY APOLOGIES TO ALL THE WOMEN DRIVERS! @&*#ing BOVINE Drivers!!! @purplekow: a deer running headlong from who knows what crashed into the side of my car. As I later learned the deer had no damage to its body but significant damage to its head and the police put it down. this is the sixth car to which I have had this happen. One had a muffler from another car come through the windshield/ One had a tire fly off after having a flat fixed and the tire changed at a garage. In one I was bumped off the road by an intoxicated driver and drove up and then rolled down an embankment. In one, a driver deserted his car in the left hand lane of a major four lane highway without flashers or any notifying item and I crashed into the rear of the car as I pulled out from behind a semi to find the car there, That was the one in which the company that owned the car replaced my car. The more recent one resulted from my hood not being properly closed after having my oil checked while getting gas. As I pulled out onto the highway and got up to speed, the hood was blown open and smashed the windshield.

  5. She was 91.
  6. My father teaching me how to clean up after pooping... but not at home; in a stall at our pool club. They paved that paradise decades ago & put up a Korean Temple... but, to me, it will always be the place I learned to... well, you know...
  7. The last 10 episodes dropped June 2nd, & I finally watched the first 2 a month ago, then binged the rest this weekend. I found the ending satisfying enough, though there was some eye-rolling along the way. It was absolutely more satisfying than LOST's finale.
  8. A Lidl just opened 15 blocks from me the other day. Maybe I'll drive there one day.
  9. An 83 year old man who wears tank tops and can walk 15 blocks to a store (and presumably back)... I'm impressed & jealous.
  10. How's this for customer service... had 3 things to return to temu. went to the site & typed in a request for a call from customer service. Seven minutes later all 3 items were credited back & I was asked (we're sorry but) is it okay if we only give you the credit and you don't have to return the items?
  11. Midnight... Not a sound from the pavement...
  12. Spurs mascot catches a bat while in a Batman costume cool, but...
  13. Brad has ice-skated into retirement from porn and... ” Brad and I worked together in my film called ZAK ATTACK for Falcon. Brad has to be the sweetest and sexiest guy that I have personally work with in 13 years... and to the best of my knowledge and from what he has told me does Not escort. However, if you ever get the chance to talk with him you will find like myself that he is a one of a kind and that it has nothing to do with the size of his Cock that makes him so special. He is definitely someone of a higher stature and very well liked in our business. ” Zak Spears
  14. My favorite conspiracy theory about Mrs. Brolin seems totally plausible to me-- and not (just) because I made it up. NO MORE TEARS was really a battle between God and the Devil... I occasionally used to listen to Casey Kasem do America's Top 40. When NMT rocketed to #1 almost immediately, he noted that it was the 666th #1 in the history of the Billboard pop chart, but the 1st by 2 women (it might've been 2 unrelated women). Many people thought disco was evil and here was one of the world's great voices going over to the dark side to record a duet with the Queen of Disco... and it just happened to be released just in time to be the 666th #1?!?!? Obviously, this was the work of the devil. However, Mrs. Sudano was known to be a very religious woman, which is probably why the song had one of the fastest falls out of the top 40 (and top 100?) of any #1 song. I don't remember if it was the NYPost or Daily News that titled their review of her "A star is born" "A bore is starred."
  15. For dozens of explorers, Amelia Earhart is the one who got away — seemingly permanently. However, a commercial real estate investor from Charleston, South Carolina, believes he might finally have found a vital piece of the 87-year-old puzzle. The pioneering female aviator, a household name at the time, disappeared with her flight navigator on what was to be a record-setting trip around the world in 1937. Despite many attempts and millions of dollars spent over nine decades, neither Earhart’s remains nor the wreckage of her plane have ever definitively been located. But Tony Romeo, a pilot and a former US Air Force intelligence officer who sold all his commercial properties to pay for his search, told The Wall Street Journal he thinks he found part of Earhart’s plane resting on the ocean floor. Romeo says that his sonar image of an aircraft-shaped object in the Pacific Ocean may well be Earhart’s Lockheed 10-E Electra — and experts who have viewed the image say it’s worth investigating. “This is maybe the most exciting thing I’ll ever do in my life,” Romeo told the Journal. “I feel like a 10-year-old going on a treasure hunt.” Romeo and two of his brothers, all pilots, felt they would have better luck finding Earhart than the slew of past adventurers, many of whom were sailors. “We always felt that a group of pilots were the ones that are going to solve this, and not the mariners,” Romeo told WSJ. They tried to game Earhart’s flight path by studying her direction, location and fuel levels based on radio messages received by Itasca, the US Coast Guard vessel stationed near Howland Island to assist Earhart in landing and refueling. They then drew up a search area based on where they thought Earhart was most likely to have crashed. Romeo spent $11 million to fund the trip and the high-tech gear. Key to the search was an underwater “Hugin” drone. His 16-person expedition launched in early September from Tarawa, Kiribati, a port near Howland Island, aboard a research vessel. The team’s unmanned submersible scanned 5,200 square miles of ocean floor, and after about a month, it captured a blurry image of an airplane-like object 5,000 meters beneath the surface within 100 miles of Howland Island. However, the Earhart hunters didn’t find the intriguing drone image until three months into their trip, and by then it wasn’t feasible to backtrack, Romeo said. He told WSJ he plans to make another excursion to get better pictures to hopefully help experts solve the decades-old mystery. Dorothy Cochrane, a curator in the aeronautics department of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, told the outlet the area where the image was taken lines up with where Earhart scholars believe she might have been before she vanished. “Until you physically take a look at this, there’s no way to say for sure what that is,” Andrew Pietruszka, an underwater archaeologist who helms deep-ocean searches for missing military aircraft and their soldiers, told the Journal. On July 2, 1937, Earhart and Fred Noonan, her navigator, took off from Lae, Papua New Guinea, and planned to refuel on uninhabited Howland Island. A runway and refueling station had been built for them so they could journey on to Honolulu and Oakland, Calif., their final destination. The two encountered a strong headwind in Lae, and operators monitored Earhart’s radio messages as she flew toward Howland — until she went silent. After 16 days, the US Navy and Coast Guard ended their search for the missing trailblazer, who was declared dead on Jan. 5, 1939. https://nypost.com/2024/01/27/news/plane-shaped-sonar-image-may-be-vital-clue-in-amelia-earhart-mystery/
  16. Angels Designate Trey Cabbage For Assignment I guess you could say the Angels have 'stuffed' Cabbage... or I can because... I love a good pun... almost as much as I love a bad one.
  17. The answers were hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnall's porch.
  18. My sister had this 45. I used to borrow it a lot. I was 8. I was socially conscious. I owned the 45 of Ball of Confusion and brought it to school for show and tell as a record that told a story.
