They're just moving the holes so that motorists can't memorize them. ____________________________________________________   ____________________________________________________ A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ____________________________________________________ Reported by Rock: An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD has been earned by  Robby Wildt, 40, Valley Station, Kentucky, USA  Child kidnaper chased by neighbors, arrested by cops  As Prentiss Weatherford sat on his porch on the eve of Independence Day, he saw what he thought was a kidnapping. It happened quick, Weatherford said. He came around the corner, parked his car, (and) got out within 15 seconds. According to a police report, several people saw Robby Wildt, 40, drive through the 4700 block of Haney Way in Valley Station around 5:40 p.m. on July 3. They said he took a child and put her in his car before driving away. Weatherford told WAVE 3 News he and his father, Terry, were just two of those witnesses. One of our cars actually got broken into so that led up to us being outside, trying to figure out where to place cameras on our house, Weatherford said. I was looking down the road, (and) a car came around the corner from the stop sign, parked in the middle of the street. He got out ... (There was) a little girl in front of her car on her bicycle. He just grabbed her by the collar, threw her bike, threw her in the passengers seat, made his way on down the road. Thats when Weatherford said he and his father acted; they followed Wildts car, taking notes of the last three digits of his license plate before he sped away. Weatherford encountered a police officer who had been called to the scene a few minutes later. Talked to him, he said. He was on his way over here. We gave him the last three (digits) of the license plate. Officers found Wildt a short distance from where Weatherford saw his car. The girl was found unharmed in the front passenger seat of the car, the police report said. In his statement to police, Wildt claimed that he saw the girl playing in the street, circled around the block, and grabbed her from the side of the road. After she started crying, Wildt said he tried to calm her down. He told officers he realized what he was doing was wrong and tried to bring her back where hed grabbed her because he was afraid he may hurt her and he felt bad for doing what he had done. Wildt is being held on a $1 million bond for one count of kidnapping a minor, and he was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections.  
 DearWebby's tech support pits from: Bonnie re: Name of picture Dear Webby is there a way to identify a picture/photo that's on the computer screen? Like the lovely bird in today's newsletter? Bonnie in Flat Rock, NC  Dear Bonnie Yes, sure! Right-click the picture, Select: Save As The computer will show the current name of the picture, and lets you choose where to save it to. I don't always use the full and long name, but enough, so that you can guess the rest. That bird, for example, I named Hyacynth- By it's beak you can probably tell that it is a Macaw. The full name is Hyacynth Macaw. Some people call it a Blue Macaw. When all else fails, write me and I will tell you what I know. You can also right-click the image, and select Seach Google for image Google calls it a Spix or Blue Macaw. Have FUN! DearWebby 
 A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders of nature through such innocent eyes. Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating."Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?" she asked. "They're mating," her father replied. "What do you call the spider on top?" she asked. "That's a Daddy Longlegs," her father answered. "So, the other one is a Mommy Longlegs?" the little girl asked. As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied "No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs." The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat. "Well, we're not having any of that queer shit in OUR garden!" she said.

 Three geezers are sitting on a porch in Miami Beach. Suddenly the first sighs and says, "Gentlemen, isn't life horrible. Here I am at an age that I can afford the best steaks and what? Bad teeth and gums. I have to eat ground or soft foods." The second answers, "Yeah, life is a real bummer. Why here I am at an age where I can buy the finest wines, champagne but what? Ulcers, I have to drink milk." The third sighs loudly and adds, "Gentlemen, I know exactly what you mean. Last night at 2 am I nudged my wife and asked her if she's interested. She screams at me, "What is wrong with you Sam? We just got finished doing it for the second time tonight!" After a long pause the first man says, "So what is your problem?" The third one grunts and says, "Can't you see? My memory is going." ____________________________________________ June 2002, Georgia: An EMT in southern Georgia was part of the unit that responded to a call from Coffee County late one night. They arrived on the scene and found a severely injured man lying at the edge of a field. His stomach had been completely torn open, and he was covered with lacerations and bruises. He also had a prominent tire tread across his chest. The injured man's companion showed up in a racing model ATV vehicle, clearly intoxicated, and gave the following account. Imagine this tale being recited in a deep Georgian accent. He and his injured friend had been drinkin' and ridin' around the field on the three-wheeled ATV, when they sighted a stand of deer in their headlights. The friend, riding the back as a passenger, was struck with a great idea. "Hey man," he said, "If you quarter off one a those deer, betcha I can bulldog 'im." The driver thought this was an entertaining idea, so he proceeded to isolate a buck and race him down. His intoxicated passenger proceeded to leap from the ATV, grab the buck by the antlers, and perform an excellent example of this rodeo sport. He pinned the animal's head to the ground, but that's when things went wrong. The buck, less docile than a steer, simply got up, threw his head back, and tore his assailant's belly open. The deer then proceeded to stomp, kick, and butt him for good measure. The EMTs noticed that this information accounted all of the injuries except one. When they asked the driver about the tire track across his injured friend's chest, he responded: "Well how else was I s'posed to git the deer off 'im?" ____________________________________________ Two senior citizens were bragging about their sex lives in the elderly homes, "Can you still do it? I have sex with my wife twice a week. How many can you do?" "Oh, I do it almost every night of the week!" "Almost every night!!?????" "Yup! Monday, almost. Tuesday, almost. Wednesday,........" ______________________________________________
