OH HAPPY DAY!

IT’S A GOOD DAY

It’s a good day to fly to the moon.

Meanwhile, here’s a head on a pike.

According to Wikipedia: “This has been a custom in a number of cultures, typically either as part of a criminal penalty following execution or as a war trophy following a violent conflict.” So, what did this guy do?

Vehicle crashes into residence on the 300 block of Linden Street Saturday evening

A vehicle crashed into a residence on the 300 block of Linden Street at about 6:30 Saturday evening. The vehicle, a gray Jeep SUV, apparently left the parking lot of the Turkey Hill Experience, crossed Linden Street, and slammed into the structure, causing damage to the entrance and contents. The driver and passenger suffered injuries in the crash.

Emergency personnel removed the female passenger from the vehicle and placed her in an ambulance. Personnel had to remove the vehicle from the structure before the male driver could be extricated. He was also taken by ambulance.
