This morning, I was watching the news and heard a story that made me say "Huh?"
Drunk driver runs over himself.
Police responded to a reported auto/pedestrian accident, and when they got there, they learned the pedestrian was the driver! The truck had blown a tire, and somehow this man got under the tire and was run over by his truck. The police are trying to figure out how he managed it.
Maybe, when the tire blew, the driver got out to check it and didn't remember to stop the truck first. That's all I can figure with how he did it.

You could say that. Her toilet was overflowing badly and she was cussing at it. Her window was open and her next-door-neighbor (an off duty cop) requested her to clean up her language, or at least to keep it down, which she did not do. The neighbor called the police, and she was cited.

Here's a few interesting headlines, at least to me:
Maggie the Elephant Leaves Alaska Dentist Offers Reward for Halloween Candy Groups Sue to Stop Prairie Dog Trapping at Golf Course Taser Doesn't Stop Naked Man Students Say Clinton University Speech Should be Free Three People Cited in Pheasant Killing at Football Game Cancer Survivors Launch Rubber Duckies to Raise Money Provo Man Lights Vehicle on Fire to Avoid Payment
I suppose that some of these show what sort of state I live in.

Cow falls off cliff and crashes onto van on highway
Here's the whole story about the cow. It's been getting some fair attention around here because the couple involved is from Michigan...SPOKANE, Washington (Reuters) - A cow plunged from a 200-foot (61-metre) cliff onto the hood of a minivan on a highway in central Washington state, according to police. The car's occupants, Charles and Linda Everson, were not hurt in Sunday's accident, but the cow was euthanized at the scene. "If the cow had fallen a split second later, the animal would have landed right in their laps," said Jeff Middleton, criminal deputy of the Chelan County Sheriff's Department. Middleton estimated the animal weighed 600 lbs (272 kilograms), or the average size of a mature cow. It had been missing for two days and wandered 5 miles from home near the popular Lake Chelan tourist area.

Florida Dog Owners Fear Flying Menace
(AP) Move over coyotes. Some northwest Florida residents are worried because they believe hawks are swooping down from the sky and attacking their small dogs.
Gulf Breeze residents have seen their pets fall victim to coyotes before, and the city even sets traps to control their population.
Martha Powers said she began yelling after seeing a large bird flying down toward her dog. The bird turned away. And Caren Gardner believes that her 3-pound Pomeranian was taken by a hawk last year 'within minutes' after she let her out to play.
Local veterinarians don't believe pet owners should be too worried about birds flying off with their pets because the problem isn't all that common.
Doctor Lorrie Rhodus from the Animal Medical Center said she has seen the problem before. She said that three years ago a woman brought in a dog that had been attacked by a hawk.
The owner said the small dog was probably too heavy for the bird to handle, and it dropped the canine. The dog was severly injured and had to undergo surgery, Rhodus said.
I've heard stories like this before. There have been dogs that were actually taken, killed and eaten by birds of prey (predominantly hawks). And as if it isn't traumatic enough to see your dog swept up by one of these birds, the real horror comes when the bird takes it up to a higher altitude and drops it for the purpose of killing it.
As terrible as it sounds, the birds are just doing what nature dictates.

*shudders* Poor pets. There's a town in my area called Woodland Hills, and it is called that for a reason. It's built high up on the mountainside. I visited someone there once who told me they can't let kids or small pets outside to play unattended because of cougars. All I can say is they should not have built in mountain lion territory. The cats are hungry, they see food. Same as these hawks.
There was one day I saw a red-tail hawk going for my neighbor's chickens. They let the stupid birds wander the neighborhood, and I've nearly hit them myself on more than one occasion. It was interesting seeing a hawk perch in one of our trees waiting for the chickens to come out from under the bushes they were hiding in. I wish the hawk would have gotten the rooster. Annoying bird, that rooster. (we live in the middle of a city! farm animals should not be able to wander around free like that)
