 ______________________________________________________ An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Richard Walker, old enough to know better, Winter Garden, Florida  Road Rage suspect chewed wires in FHP cruiser  Florida Highway Patrol troopers have released surveillance video of a road rage suspect who they say tried to chew through recording equipment in the back of a patrol car. Troopers said the video shows Richard Walker moments after he was arrested on State Road 429 in Winter Garden for intentionally crashing into a vehicle several times. Investigators said he also used a hammer to smash that vehicle. Once handcuffed and put inside the patrol car, Walker was caught on camera putting chewing gum on the lens of a surveillance camera then trying to chew through the camera's wires. Troopers said Walker caused damage to the equipment. Walker became irate during the arrest and also threatened the trooper. Walker was booked into the Orange County Jail on several charges, including aggravated assault, resisting arrest and damaging property. Walker later bonded out of jail.  _________________________________  Tech Support Pits From: Bill Re: Getting rid of IE Dear Webby, How did you go about uninstalling Internet Explorer?

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Deodorizing a Cooler or Ice Chest  By Doris [2 Posts, 72 Comments] To clean a cooler, inside and out, cascade, or any automatic dishwashing powder, works really well, and sanitizes while cleaning. It gets the dirt out of the grooves on the outside, too. I don't know why it works better than a cleanser, but it does. It's also food safe, since it is for dishwashing, right? For storage of a cooler with a plug, leaving the plug open is all you need; keeping in mind closing it when you use it! If there isn't a plug, I use a paper towel, folded a few times, to wedge the lid open, placing it near a hinge. If the cooler is musty smelling from storage areas, a quick swipe with some vinegar and baking soda will do the trick.  ____________________________________________________

 ____________________________________________________ >From Aaron: Standing on the shore, a Jewish lady watches her grandson playing in the water. She is thunderstruck when she sees a huge wave crash over him. Because when it recedes, the boy is no longer there - vanished! Screaming, she holds her hands to the sky and cries, "Lord, how could you? Have I not been a wonderful mother and grandmother? Have I not scrimped and save so I could tithe to the Temple and contribute to B'nai Brith? Have I not always put others before myself? Have I not always turned my other cheek and loved my neighbors, have I not ...?" A deep loud voice from the sky interrupts, "Enough already, give me a break!'" Immediately another huge wave appears and crashes on the beach. And when it recedes, the boy is standing there, smiling, splashing around as if nothing ever happened. The deep loud voice continues, "I have returned your grandson. Are you satisfied?" Grandmother responds, "He had a hat."
