This happened at about 11:30 a.m., when police were called about Laurie Bostic causing a disturbance while driving a tractor in the Rockwall 4th of July Parade staging area near Utley Middle School. Bostic was not allowed to take part in the parade route, but police said she refused to cooperate with parade officials and officers, and decided to join the parade anyways. Police said she was driving dangerously and refused orders from officers, and they tried to pull her over, but she refused to stop while driving her tractor. Officers forced her from the road, where she drove into a fence, and her tractor was then disabled. Bostic was taken into custody and now faces charges of evading arrest, interference with a processional, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief. She obviously has not seen "Easy Rider", a classic movie about as old as she is. That movie showed that joining a parade or following one without a permit is a jailable crime in the US.  
 DearWebby's tech support pits from: Beverly re: McAfee Dear Webby You used to recommend McAfee, and I got a subscription. It has worked pretty well and no serious baddies slipped past it. Now, that McAfee got Hilaried in a Spanish jail, what is going to happen with the program? Beverly  Dear Beverly McAfee sold the prgram for $100 Million more than a dozen years ago and became a naughty playboy with warrants out for his arrest in various countries. He has had nothing to do with the program since then. I dumped it and moved up to Malwarebytes when McAfee did not work on Windows 7 PRO. Because I was one of the first buyers of MalwareBytes, I got a lifetime subscription for one machine. I have been quite happy with MalwareBytes. Have FUN! DearWebby

 After the last child moves out of the house, Mom and Dad announce that they're getting a divorce. The kids are totally distraught and pay for a session with the world's most famous marriage counselor as a last effort at keeping their parents together. The counselor works for hours, tries all of his methods, but the couple still won't even talk to each other. Finally he goes over to a closet, brings out a beautiful violin and begins to play. After a minute, the couple start talking. The therapist keeps soloing on the violin and the couple discover that they're not actually that far apart and decide to give their marriage another try. The kids are amazed and ask the doctor how he managed to do it. He replies, "Well, I've never yet seen a couple that wouldn't talk through a violin solo." ____________________________________________ Marcy called to make flight reservations: "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York." The travel agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, of course I am sure! What flights do you have?" replied the customer. After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Hippopotamus anywhere." The customer retorted, "Oh don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "Do you by any chance mean Buffalo ?" "That's it! I knew it was a big animal!" ____________________________________________ My father, in the hospital after surgery to repair a hip replacement, needed assistance to get on and off the toilet and the bedpan. 89 years old, he was also extremely modest and had a tough time dealing with the matter-of-fact ways nursing personnel dealt with bodily functions. One time two aides put him on the bedpan and stood by the bed waiting for him to finish. He looked at them and said. "It'll cost you a quarter to watch." Another time an aide put him on the toilet and left. When she came back about 5 minutes later, she asked if he was done yet. He looked at her in all seriousness and asked, "Why, do you need to use it?" ______________________________________________
