There were two more fires of a suspicious nature last night in Accomack County - the first in Wachapreague, and the second in Tasley. Investigations are being done this morning to see if two more fires get tallied up by the Accomack Arsonist. This is just so incredibly wrong. .... And in Wakulla County, Florida, in the Crawfordville Walmart (near Tallahassee), a woman tried to use a $1 off coupon that she had printed from her computer. The cashier declined the coupon. Mary Frances Alday of Crawfordville, was arrested Friday and charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of battery, for allegedly ramming an assistant manager with a shopping cart. She was also charged with resisting arrest and battery of an officer, according to the arrest report. According to the report, the woman threatened the assistant manager and was followed into the parking lot by the manager and three other employees. The woman pulled a handgun, in a holster, out of her vehicle and threatened to shoot "all of" them. The police were called, and stopped her on a road. She verbally threatened the officer, and, after being asked to get out of her vehicle twice, the lady leaned toward the passenger side of the car. She was tazed twice. A loaded Smith & Wesson was found in the console of the vehicle between the front seats... Yowza!
All the snow that fell in my back yard Monday afternoon has melted away. That has made Nedi and Lovey very happy, and they are leaving muddy paw prints all over the place. I'll soon be leaving to walk Rosie and Remy - hopefully Remy will be doing well enough to take him to visit the Snow yard today.
Frozen Dead Guy Days, in Nederland (up at the head of Boulder Canyon), will kick off their celebrations on Friday, and it's supposed to snow on Saturday and Sunday for the rest of the celebration... Frozen Dead Guy Days events include:
Coffin races
Glacier Ice Cream, headquartered in the nearby city of Boulder, makes a flavor specifically for the festival (named, appropriately enough, Frozen Dead Guy), consisting of fruit-flavored blue ice cream mixed with crushed Oreo cookies and sour gummy worms. Tours of the Tuff Shed where Grandpa is still frozen were suspended after 2005, after Grandpa’s family “became frustrated with Frozen Dead Guy Days”, but they resumed with the 2010 celebration.
In 1989, a Norwegian citizen named Trygve Bauge brought the corpse of his recently deceased grandfather, Bredo Morstøl, to the United States. The body was preserved on dry ice for the trip, and stored in liquid nitrogen at the Trans Time cryonics facility from 1990 to 1993. In 1993, Bredo was returned to dry ice and transported to the town of Nederland, where Trygve and his mother Aud planned to create a cryonics facility of their own. When Trygve was deported from the United States for overstaying his visa, his mother, Aud, continued keeping her father’s body cryogenically frozen in a shack behind her unfinished house.
Aud was eventually evicted from her home for living in a house with no electricity or plumbing, in violation of local ordinances.At that time, she told a local reporter about her father’s body, and the reporter went to the local city hall in order to let them know about Aud’s fears that her eviction would cause her father’s body to thaw out.
The story caused a sensation. In response, the city added a broad new provision to Section 7-34 of its Municipal Code, “Keeping of bodies”, outlawing the keeping of “the whole or any part of the person, body or carcass of a human being or animal or other biological species which is not alive upon any property”. However, because of the publicity that had arisen, they made an exception for Bredo, a grandfather clause.
