For the first few days, the uncle shows him the usual things, the livestock, the crops. After three days, however, it is obvious that the nephew is getting bored, and the uncle is running out of things to amuse him with. Finally, the uncle has an idea. "Why don't you grab a gun, take the dogs, and go shooting?" This seems to cheer the nephew up, and with enthusiasm, off he goes. After a few hours, the nephew returns. "How did you enjoy that?" his uncle asks. "It was great," the nephew says. "I kinda like those dogs, so I took the cats instead. Got any more cats?" _____________________________________________________ At the spring barbecue a lady stood up and said that it was time to get ready for the celebrations.

Officers responded to reports of a suspicious vehicle at around 7:30 p.m. on May 22 near 19th Avenue and Bell Road. When they got there, police found the vehicle in question and tried to pull it over, but the driver fled, police said. A police helicopter followed the car for 15 minutes. Then an officer deployed a grappler near 19th Avenue and Phelps Road, stopping the vehicle. "Once the vehicle was stopped, officers positioned themselves all around the vehicle with their guns drawn. Officers gave multiple commands for the woman to show her hands and turn off the car. The woman did not comply and produced an object perceived to be a handgun and pointed it at an officer. This is when multiple officers discharged their firearms," police said in a statement on June 5. The department further explained, "After the shooting, the woman was ordered to show her hands and did not fully comply. An officer deployed two rounds from a less lethal 40 mm launcher at the drivers window to remove the glass giving officers a clearer view of the woman."

"I know," said the man, "but I can't. My wife refuses to sleep alone." _____________________________________________________ DearWebby's Tech Support Pits DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Lynn RE: Hard drive defrag Dear Webby, I have two hard drives.
