sometimes things slip my mind.
for example i’ve been meaning to blog this for a very long time.
this is from an actual police blotter page for a small newspaper in Maine.
obviously Sgt. Tibbetts was very diplomatic in his response to crazy and should probably be commended.
It’s pretty obvious to me that Hope, ME obviously has at least one “interesting resident”

so, i’m walking to the subway last night and in front of the Grand Lodge of the Freemasons (off 23rd & 6th ave) there are 5-7 people with signs promoting “Gun Owners for Ron Paul“.
In Manhattan!
Until I got home and checked the web, I wasn’t sure if this was from actual Paul-ites or from people trying to make him look unacceptable to lefties, but it looks legit.

(LIP-ir) — Peru’s official government news agency reported this afternoon that scientists which went to the town of Carancas in the Region of Puno, Peru, have confirmed that the glowing object which fell from the sky on Saturday afternoon was indeed a meteorite.
Volcanologist for Peru’s Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute (INGEMMET), Luisa Macedo, confirmed that a chondrite meteorite had caused the 17 meter (55 foot) wide and 5 meter (16 foot) deep crater when it landed on earth.
It was reported that with the help of the Desaguadero Municipality, the water would be drained out of the crater to establish the exact size of the hole that was made by the chondrite meteorite.
Macedo explained that the chondrite was not radioactive and did not have any toxic gases or substances which could be harmful to peoples health. On the other hand, Macedo stated that it had not yet been established if the water supply in the province of Chucuito had been contaminated or not.
Aside from the analysis Macedo is performing, the National University of Altiplano, Peru’s Nuclear Energy Institute, the National Institute of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Health and a Bolivian university are all taking part in the analysis of the area.

LIMA (AFP) - Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.
ADVERTISEMENTAround midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.
Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a “strange odor,” local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.
Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.
Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.
“Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned,” he said.

The 19-year-old Russian was detained by border guards as he embarked on his great escape to EU member Poland by digging under the border.
“The man tried to tunnel under the security system and at this interesting moment was detained by border guards,” a spokesman for the border guards said.
“He would have had to tunnel for about 1 kilometre to get to Poland,” the spokesman said.
It was unclear why the man was using a cup to dig his tunnel. He also had army rations, camouflage, maps and a textbook on survival.
The man, who faces a fine of about $300, said he was heading for Germany to see his girlfriend.
But border guards suspect he wanted to go to France to join the Foreign Legion.
