YARD SALES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH

While the Watchers watch, and "The Indomitable Donna" reports their progress, here's something so completely OT that it's right off the radar... the Silly Season between nesting and migration? You gotta wonder how much someone can love corn bread...

Yard sale patron allegedly hits man with pan

(AP) SONORA, Calif. - A 70-year-old yard sale shopper is facing charges after things apparently got a bit out of hand. Tuolumne County authorities said Jon Joslin was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly hit another man over the head with a corn bread pan at the sale Friday. A sheriff’s spokesman said Joslin hit the fellow shopper with a five-pound, cast iron pan to prevent him from getting to the sale first.

It seems the two men arrived early at the yard sale and were walking up a long driveway when investigators said Joslin first attempted to trip 64-year-old Joseph Brown.

Brown suffered a head laceration but refused medical treatment.

It was not known if Joslin had retained an attorney.

Never mind THAT, Donna! I love your take on who's watching whom in Downtown ROC. (Actually, I think I have another yard sale story from ROC itself... lemme look...)

AND... I just heard the "W" Word on the radio... "Winter". Just wait til I tell you how early we hear the "Christmas" word on this green isle... Any bets?

Here's the other one I was looking for...

IRONDEQUOIT POLICE reports: Estate-sale fight

Two men got into a fight during an estate sale on Angora Drive on Aug. 5. The men were fighting over a snow blower [speaking of winter...]. One man was accused of hitting the other with a metal chair and a metal shelving unit.

this is really getting ridiculous pretty soon they will never take Christmas down. Grumble Grumble they should at least wait until after Halloween if we can't get them to wait until Thanksgiving. No wonder summer seems fleeting and winter seems to last forever.

What ever happened to the day after Thanksgiving? Oh, those were the good old days, (when Christmas meant something).

   Bobbi you are way funny!    ???Dustbin... is that how you say garbage bin in your language?! Or am I way off track with that?   

[Bobbie Ireland]

Right, MAK! Dustbin = garbage can.

Ain't we quaint??

[MAK]

    Yeah we're quaint depending on your definition of the word! 
   I told Donna just yesterday that sometimes I have difficulty understanding your english. But then I have the same problem with New Jerseys lingo too!    Right Donna!
