Always a surprise when the crazies show up on your doorstep!

Man Accused of Tainting Water Bottles at Gas Station

HOUSTON - Police say a man faces a felony charge after he was spotted injecting a substance into water bottles at a west Houston gas station.

Christopher Slaughter, 26, is charged with ‘tampering with consumer product.’

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office says it was last Thursday when Slaughter was spotted injecting an "unknown substance" into water bottles at a gas station located at 4740 Katy Freeway.

Court documents say it was “probable that the product would cause serious bodily injury, knowing that the product would be offered for sale to the public.”

A witness wrote down Slaughter’s license plate number, and officers with the Houston Police Department later tracked him down and took him into custody.

The D.A.’s office says security video caught Slaughter in the act.

Officials did not disclose whether or not anyone purchased the bad water before it was pulled from store shelves.

Ya know, I'm tired of hearing the excuse for these evil so-and-so's. I personally don't care if these characters are crazy, stupid, products of broken homes, or just plain mean hearted! It's time for somebody to put an end to their games...or maybe to them!

If it helps...I'll bring the rope!

Coffee in the kitchen this morning. Pretty foggy out on the patio!

Politicians Never Seem To Change...!

It seems like the politicos of long ago and the politicos of today have a lot in common.

Appears that they all want to be the leader, the boss, even the King! They seem to want to have their cake and eat it too! Often it isn't enough that they have more than enough to make most folks happy, they always want more!

Greed and ego are nasty task masters, though, and often will bite you in the butt if you aren't careful! Here's a case in point!

Dec 13, 1776:

General Charles Lee leaves his troops for Widow White's tavern

On this day in 1776, American General Charles Lee leaves his army, riding in search of female sociability at Widow White's Tavern in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.

General George Washington had repeatedly urged General Lee to expedite his movements across New Jersey in order to reinforce Washington's position on the Delaware River. Lee, who took a commission in the British army upon finishing military school at age 12 and served in North America during the Seven Years' War, felt slighted that the less experienced Washington had been given command of the Continental Army and showed no inclination to rush.

Famed for his temper and intemperance, the Mohawk had dubbed Lee Boiling Water. Lee was an adopted tribesman through his marriage to a Mohawk woman, but his union apparently failed to quell his interest in prostitutes. Lee rode to Widow White's tavern with a minimal guard and it was there that Banastre Tarleton and the 16th Queen's Light Dragoons captured him on the morning of December 15.

The former comrades were now captor and captive. After being disappointed in his efforts to acquire a lucrative royal appointment, Lee had retired to the colonies in 1773 and quickly joined the Patriot cause. Tarleton had sworn in a London club that he would hunt down the traitor to the crown and relieve him of his head. Fortunately for Lee, Tarleton failed to keep his promise, although the vain general may well have preferred a quick end to the humiliation of being led from Widow White's tavern to New York City in his nightdress.

The British rejoiced at the capture of the Patriots' best-trained commander, while Washington fruitlessly negotiated for his release. Meanwhile, Lee enjoyed his captivity, even drafting a battle plan for his captors from plush accommodations in which his personal servant maintained his three rooms and no doubt served his food and wine in a most civilized fashion. The British did not act upon his plan, and Lee reported to Valley Forge upon his release in May 1778. After a series of arguments with Washington, Lee was suspended from the army in December 1778 and dismissed in 1780.

This is what happens when your ego makes you think you are above the law or above the rules! Thinking that you can make your own rules don't make it so. Mouthing off to your commanding officer is not the way to win friends and get a promotion.

Letting folks think you are ignorant is much better than opening your mouth and proving them right, don't you think?

Let's have our coffee in the kitchen this morning. I have some fresh cookies!

I Thought That Cheese Tasted Funny...!

Smugglers will try nearly anything to get their crap into the states.

I have to give them credit for this one, though. I have never heard of this tactic, but I certainly hope none of this ever reaches my grocery store!

Smuggler tried to hide $140,000 drug stash in nacho cheese

Customs and Border officials nabbed a 21-year-old Mexican citizen this week on suspicion of smuggling $140,000 worth of methamphetamine in these three cans of liquid nacho cheese and jalapenos, the LA Times reports. Incredibly, this is not the first time nacho cheese has been used as a smuggling tool. In October, a customs officials found 7 pounds of meth hidden in nacho cheese cans, NPR reports.

Next thing you know, these evil jerks will use my peanut butter to smuggle stuff in! That would be the ultimate insult! I say this has gone far enough! Time to put an end to all this bull!

If they touch my coffee...then we have a REAL problem!

Coffee in the kitchen again, folks! Gonna be that way for a few days!

The Devil Made Me Do It...!

I know this is Sunday and the last thing you want to see is another advertisement, but this is funny!

Well, at least it's funny to me! However, I've been told more than once that I have a slightly warped sense of humor, and that's probably true! Still, I feel that we all could use a good chuckle and if this helps...then it's worth it!



If you don't find this amusing, then just blame it on my poor taste or my lack of sleep or my dread of the family tree next weekend! All will be considered as true and I will accept all the blame for posting it today!

But like I said...I think it's pretty darn funny and I needed a laugh! So there!

C'mon into the kitchen and I'll get you some fresh coffee! There's a few pieces of strawberry cake left, OK?

Heck Of A Way To Go...!

It's always sad when folks decide to take their own life.

I'll never understand it, and I don't know what would ever drive someone to do it. That being said, if I were ever going to try and do it I would choose the quickest and most painless way to go. This does not fall into either in my way of thinking!

Suicide by piranha

By HARRY HAYDON
Published: 08 Dec 2011

A TEENAGER is believed to have committed "suicide by piranha" after leaping into a river infested with the flesh-eating fish.

Fisherman Oscar Barbosa, 18, bled to death after jumping out of his canoe.

He suffered dozens of bites to his throat and face on Bolivia's Yata River, local police chief Daniel Cayaya revealed.

He believed Oscar — from Rosario del Yata in the north east of the country — meant to kill himself.

Mr Cayaya said the teenager knew the river well and would have been aware that it is swarming with red piranhas at this time of year. He added that Oscar was thought to be drunk.

The 14-inch fish have razor sharp teeth and hunt in packs to strip their prey of flesh. They are known to devour large snakes and even jaguars in minutes.

Fatal attacks on humans are rare. But swimmers at a river beach in Brazil were attacked by hundreds of piranhas in September.

I'm afraid that with the holidays all but here, we will see more and more of folks taking this path. I hate to think that so many feel that this is the only way out, but every year it seems this happens.

Maybe an extra prayer or two is needed to help those who really need it the most, you know? Certainly couldn't hurt!

Coffee in the kitchen if that's alright. Sausage and biscuits are available if anyone's interested!

You Lost WHAT...?

What I want to know is...how in the hell do you manage to lose the moon rocks?

I mean, it's not like we can just run down to the corner store and get some more! Someone needs to explain this to me! You better NOT tell me that you accidentally threw them out when you cleaned the store room!

NASA admits losing moon rocks

NASA's Inspector General says the US space agency seems to have misplaced some pieces of the moon, meteorites and other space items.

NASA concedes that more than 500 pieces of space material have been stolen or been missing since 1970.

That includes 218 stolen moon samples that were returned and about two dozen moon rocks and chunks of lunar soil that were reported lost last year.

NASA has loaned more than 21,500 samples to researchers, who in some cases said they never ended up using the material.

The report says NASA needs to keep better track of what is sent to researchers and museums

That's the final straw! As of now, you are all grounded from any further trips to space until you find all those rocks! Ya hear me?

C'mon, my friends, let's have coffee in the kitchen this morning.

This Is A Shameful Act...!

I don't want to hear about all the reasons that this was ever considered to be proper!

No matter the circumstances, these remains deserved better! The memories of these troops deserved better! Their very actions DEMAND better!

Sad that this practice was even considered as the best we could do for those that died in the service of our country!

Report Reveals More Soldiers' Remains Went to Landfill Than Previously Acknowledged

Published December 08, 2011

WASHINGTON – A U.S. Air Force Base disposed of at least 274 U.S. troops' partial remains in a Virginia landfill, it emerged late Wednesday -- far more than had been believed.

The practice of dumping incinerated remains in King George County landfill -- revealed last month -- took place from 2004 until 2008, when remains that could not be returned to the soldiers' families, or that the families asked the military to destroy, began being buried at sea.

Data gathered by The Washington Post shows that 274 identified service members' remains were dumped in that manner by mortuary staff at Delaware's Dover Air Force Base, the main repatriation point for U.S. war dead.

The Post reported that dumping incinerated remains in a landfill was never official policy, nor were senior Pentagon officials informed of the practice.

The newspaper's investigation -- which began when it found a single case of a soldier's remains ending up in the landfill -- culminated in air force officials releasing information that showed 976 pieces of 274 identified troops ended up in the landfill.

Another 1,762 fragments of unidentified remains went to the landfill.

The scandal saw three mortuary staff disciplined when the practice was revealed in November.

I'm sorry, but this bothers me more than I can possibly say! I can't understand it, I don't condone it, and I am ashamed of who ever took part in it! Ashamed!

Coffee in the kitchen this morning. It's nice and warm in there!
