Military officials say the dog's name is classified.

Conan seems like a good name.

 

 

A telephone left under the seat of a motorbike parked at the regional hospital exploded, resulting in the destruction of a total of 36 motorbikes.

Be careful recharging those Lithium-ion batteries! (corrected to Li-Ion per post 5566)

 

Hello,

Be careful recharging those NiMH batteries!

Do you mean Lithium batteries?

Bertus

 

Yes, I should have written "Lithium-ion". Now corrected.

Officers determined that the driver was merging onto I-205 northbound from Southeast Division Street.

Police said she failed to negotiate a curve in the road, hit a sign, and then drove into a tent that was in a grassy area off the road. The victim was among three people in the tent. The other two were not injured.

 

"Police said there were no signs of impairment."

I guess stupidity is not an impairment.

Why was the "victim" not cited for careless camping?

At least they were 'camping' in Portland instead of spreading their filth into the woods.

We don't seem to have that problem around here. It used to be that "vagrants" were given a free ride to the county line and told not to come back. At least in the small rural counties. Savannah and Jacksonville have some that "linger" but I don't think it's a permanent thing for most. I can remember years ago before Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty" and the advent of Public Housing, folks living in cardboard boxes or hovels thrown together from scraps on the "Other Side of Town".

Lots (not all but a large percentage) of these people are "vagrants" because they are drug addicts. Hypodermic needles don't grow in human waste but both seem to be very common around these camps.

 

The druggies don't last long before either being locked up for theft or dying. The really wretched ones are the mental cases that were cleared out of the state institutions and truly are unable to integrate into society. Until they do something that gets them locked up again.

 

Those look like insulin syringes. I didn't think they were useful for drugs.

 

Cheapest ones they can buy to give away free to the druggies to help prevent disease from using contaminated needles. Questionable practice but makes the providers feel like they are helping.

 

In San Francisco they don't even cite let alone prosecute for minor thefts and crimes anymore. Replacing smashed car windows is a hot business there now because the police don't do anything about it. I will stop before this turns political.
