In The News

There are a few things happening in our area lately that I just have to talk about.

First, an April Fool's Day gone bad. This happened right here in Lorain Ohio.

A juvenile and his aunt were going to play an April Fool's Day prank on the juvenile's Grandma. On that fateful day, these two geniuses called Grandma and cried that the juvenile's mother had been SHOT. Did I mention that this happened here in Lorain?

Here is poor Grandma, thinking someone just shot HER child and of course she panicked. She hung up on the phone call and immediately called 911. Officers responded and since no one knew if the shooter was still in the building, they showed up ready for the worst.

What did they find? Two jackasses saying "oops, my bad". I guess it's the 12 year old who is at fault since he forgot to say "April Fool's" before he hung up on Grandma. The aunt and the child were charged with making false alarms, a first-degree misdemeanor.

Too bad this juvenile seems to not be growing up with a responsible adult role model. The kid doesn't sound like he has much of a chance in this world. And that's just a shame.

If that story didn't bother me enough, here is another one that really has me scratching my head.

In Elyria, the next town over, teenagers were walking on abandoned railroad tracks. They found a severed foot! The authorities have stated the foot and ankle are intact, but there was a traumatic amputation a few inches above the ankle. Eww.

The foot still was wearing a black sock and according to the coroner appeared to be a recent amputation. The foot was not laying there for long! Um, where is the rest of this woman??

They have searched the area by foot (pardon the pun), they have searched by air and they have even brought in cadaver dogs. Nothing. Um, Ron and I checked our feet and we both still have two. Has someone not noticed they are missing a limb? There are no reports of missing persons that match. There seems to be a lot of blood loss, but there is no evidence of the rest of the body.

The train tracks have not been used in years, so someone isn't dumping body parts from the train. This story is really bothering me! What happened to this poor woman?

It's a crazy town we live in.
