Philadelphia Is Safe Again

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - After a bomb scare at the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark, authorities pointed the finger at a fuzzy green suspect - The Phillie Phanatic.

Hours before the Phillies-Atlanta Braves' game on Wednesday night, a film crew shot a commercial of the mascot shooting heavily wrapped hot dogs from a launcher.

But someone inadvertently left three of the duct taped hot dogs outside the ballpark, sparking security fears. Stadium employees were evacuated and the bomb squad was called in.

Only after the packages were blown up did authorities realize they'd just exploded some sausages.

"We saw something that looked suspicious," said Michael Stiles, Phillies senior vice president, administration and operations. "We did the right thing. It turned out to be nothing. We could have gone over and picked it up and thrown it in the trash and been done with it. But if we had been wrong, somebody might have lost an arm."

After the detonation, the game went on as scheduled.

"I'd rather them blow up some hot dogs or some ketchup and mustard and relish than have it be a real bomb," reliever Chad Durbin said. "Better safe than sorry."

Where Did Daddy Go?

By TIMBERLY ROSS, Associated Press Writer
OMAHA, Neb. – Ten children ranging in age from 1 to 17 were left at hospitals Wednesday under Nebraska's unique safe haven law, which allows caregivers to abandon not only infants but also teenagers without fear of prosecution.

Nine of the children came from one family. The six boys and three girls were left by their father, who was not identified, at Creighton University Medical Center's emergency room. An unrelated 11-year-old boy also was surrendered Wednesday.

The law, which went into effect in July, was initially intended to protect infants, but was amended to include the word "child," which some have interpreted under Nebraska law to mean anyone under the age of 19.

At least 14 children have been abandoned since the state's new safe haven law took effect.

The children are OK, said Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Kathie Osterman said. She didn't know why their father had left them.

More information will be available at a late morning news conference, Osterman said.

Nebraska was the last state in the nation to adopt a safe-haven law. Under previous law, a parent who abandoned a baby could have been charged with child neglect or abandonment, both misdemeanors, or child abuse, a felony.

State Sen. Arnie Stuthman said he introduced the bill intending to protect infants. In a compromise with senators worried about arbitrary age limits, the measure was expanded.

Abandoning teenagers was not the original intent of the law, Stuthman said Thursday.

"People are leaving them off just because they can't control them," he said. "They're probably in no real danger, so it's an easy way out for the caretaker."

Now, I know teens are hard to put up with, but this is ridiculous at best! They better fix that law and quick!

Vacation or moving

One thing is for certain, whether you are on vacation or moving away, or, come to think of it, just an overnight stay, we all need luggage. And, of course, when luggage is mentioned my mind immediately goes to Samsonite luggage.
I remember, years ago, their commercials with a gorilla manhandling their fine luggage and the luggage taking it all in stride. I suppose the thought was that if it could handle the gorilla it can handle anything any baggage handler would do to it. And, I have no doubt that that is the truth. In my travels, my luggage has been mistreated fairly badly, being thrown around like there was nothing of value in it. I wonder, how do these guys know if there is something valuable or not? So, for me, Samsonite luggage is the only way to go.
When I board a plane, a train or a Greyhound, I don't worry about my luggage being destroyed. I only have to worry about whether or not it will arrive at the same destination as myself! And, frankly, that's the way it should be. Travel that is a lot less worrisome. That gives you plenty of time to enjoy the trip and the scenery :)
So, if a trip is in your future, check out the bargains at luggage universe by clicking the link above. And, by all means, enjoy your traveling experience!

What the heck?

I looked at a variety of sites today and none of them had any really strange news to post. What's up with that? Where all the weirdos when I need them? LOL
So, today you just get randomness from this old blogger.

The teenager is driving my poor wife crazy. I thought the boys did a good job of things with my first wife, but this one really is taking the cake. She's seventeen and acts like she has the mental capacity of a five year old more often than not. I can hardly wait to see what sort of adult she's going to make. My wife can hardly wait until she is eighteen and no longer a major Life concern LOL

I have been lethargic today. Maybe that should read downright lazy. I just cannot seem to get my mind in order to do much of anything, even though I know I have some paid writing to do :( It's frustrating at best. I did manage to sit and watch one of my favorite television shows, called A Haunting, so that's something I suppose.
Now, the house is quiet, just me and the computer and a nosy fly that keeps buzzing around the computer. Shelly is out to the grocery store and the kid is still at school. Guess I should stop procrastinating and write the paid post.
First off though, more coffee! Have a great day, dear readers! Feel free to leave me a comment, would ya?
