Firefighters Suspended for Sex on Duty

…three men, including a captain, admitted to having sex with a fourth firefighter, a woman, while on duty…”They even conspired to keep it secret by putting one person on watch so they wouldn’t get caught.”…The probe follows an investigation after city firefighters attended a local porn-star costume ball last July.

Hehe! They had the balls to type “The probe” within the context of that article!

This Morning

Mishandled Tommy this morning causing problems with the wife.

Need to buy gas for the grill and a new cpu fan. Went to the inlaws to be there while their chimney was inspected and I left oranges and Tommy’s homework there so I suppose I have to run out that way too. I have days of documentation to create and programming to do.

In 1972 our government first conceived the 2001 terrorist’s attack as written in a 1977 report summarizing 5 years of research and suggestions that “is a sound plan which will curtail the risk of hijacking substantially.”

How many organizations dropped the ball?!

This Morning

My computer is moving so slow that if it gets any slower I’m going to have to start programming on paper! I think it is all related to my having installed MS One Note. I’ve considered uninstalling it but I like the concept of the program and don’t want to go through the hassle of recovering the license. It’s time for some memory upgrades. It’s really time for a new desktop but other things, like food, must come first.

I have lots of computer work to do today. Man is it ever cold!

Half-Ton Man Drops 500 Lbs I didn’t know someone could be 1,072 pounds and still be alive. Unreal! It seems like your floor joists would have to reinforced among other technical difficulties.

$1 million treasure hunt hidden in pages of fairy tale

The jackpot is actually 12 jewels hidden in very public places around the United States. Think diamonds, think rubies, think the rarest, most perfect Kashmir sapphire.



A Treasure’s Trove: A Fairy Tale About Real Treasure for Parents and Children of All Ages” is the realization of the author’s 25-year-old dream to create a puzzle sandwiched between the pages of a classic, timeless fairy tale. He was inspired by 1979’s “Masquerade,” for which author Kit Williams hid a necklace made of rare gems and gold that was found in the English countryside three years later.



It’s rare, but not unheard of, for self-published works to become big successes…



But will readers ever find it? Stadther, who acknowledges that he’s not great at word puzzles, thinks so: “It’s not rocket science. It’s all in front of you.”

This week’s clue: "Hint: Tackle repositories."

The CNN article also reveals two of the treasure pieces as an “ant” has 4 1/2 carats of pave diamonds for legs and a beetle with black diamonds to encrust its head, a canary diamond for they eye and more diamonds on the insect’s belly. Then there are the moveable parts: The jaws depress and the wings open to show a 10-carat blue tanzanite with surrounding diamonds and latticework.
