Some bad timing...

I guess it is your time..

Robert Gary Jones was a pharmaceutical salesman on a business trip, looking forward to getting home to celebrate his daughter's third birthday. He was enjoying a moment to himself on this resort island, jogging on the beach and listening to his iPod.

Officials say the Woodstock, Ga., man neither saw nor heard what struck him from behind Monday evening: A single-engine plane making an emergency landing.

The Lancair IV-P aircraft, which can be built from a kit, had lost its propeller and was "basically gliding" as it hit and instantly killed Jones, said Ed Allen, the coroner for Beaufort County on the South Carolina coast.

You have to be kidding...

So is there no major issues our wonderful lawmakers need to be more concerned about then this? Possibly school cuts, child protection bills, etc...

-----------------------
Utah lawmakers want the word "state" placed in all liquor store signs.

In Utah, all liquor stores are state-owned and many signs already tell customers that.

But the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control left the word state out of some store signs in an effort to better fit with certain store surroundings and to present a less imposing environment to out-of-state customers.

But lawmakers say they want it to be known that alcohol isn't easy to come by. They contend that telling customers the store is state-owned accomplishes that, although there's little difference in the way liquor stores operate here and in other states.

The Senate approved House Bill 419 on Thursday. It now advances to Gov. Gary Herbert.

-------------------

Who really gives a SHIT what the sign says. Is it something that will make them feel like they are in control, or do they think if it says STATE underage people won't drink.

Up In Smoke


Only in Boulder....

Thousands of people on the quad at the University of Colorado in Boulder exhale marijuana at 4:20 p.m. on April 20, an annual ritual marking the drug's unofficial national holiday.
