What would happen?

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Went to place an order at a website last night and found this interesting field on the address entry form under the drop-down for the state. I wonder what happens if you fill in a value? Wasn’t able to place my order anyway, their ‘age verification’ system said I was too young to buy smoking tobacco.

Driver on Probation for DUI when Landed on Roof

Saturday, June 24th, 2006


The drunk driver that landed through a house roof after hitting a curb mentioned here previously was on probation for driving while intoxicated at the time of the accident. She hadn’t been aressted at the time of the accident because the officers on the scene didn’t check the conditions of her parole since killing a man by landing her car on his bed was concidered a nonviolent crime. She is currently being held without bail at the county jail.

See the See the previous Story regarding this accident for further details.

Saw this on last night’s news. Appearantly a drunk driver hit a curb, went airborne, cart wheeled when it hit the ground in the yard and landed standing straight up and down through the roof of a house killing a 22 year old watching TV in bed.

From WEAR-TV’s website:

A family is mourning the loss of a young man after a car landed on the roof of a home in Milton.
Police say, 51 year-old Beverly Grimditch of Navarre was driving erratically near Berryhill Road around ten o’clock Thursday night.
When officers tried to pull her over..she sped off heading south on Alabama Street.
Police say, Grimditch hit a curb and the car became airborne and landed on the roof of a home on Margaret Street.
A man inside the house, 22 year-old William Christoper Villar, was killed.
Grimditch was taken to West Florida Hospital.
She’s in serious condition.
Charges are pending and Milton police say alcohol may have been involved.

We must all bow down to Tim Wallace of the Minneapolis area. He purchased a Brunswick pin setter on eBay. After having it delivered to his work, he spent a month disassembling it into pieces small enough to take home. He then reassembled it in his garage and built a 10 foot lane.
