Forgotten Graffiti

Weekly news update: July 18-25

Here's what's made news this past week:

There's a stinking DUST CLOUD "nearly the size of the continental US" drifting amiably towards the Southern states of the America. Wow. Scott Kelly at the National Weather Service believes that the cloud will dissapate shortly after reaching Florida. Now, honestly, being from West Texas I've seen my share of dust storms...I've even seen a day where it rained mud! Crazy. But imagine those poor Florida residents, sitting on their porch drinking their cappuccinos (that's what they do in Florida, right? Sorry Tom..) All of a sudden, a massive swirling cloud of dirt hits. Talk about abrasion. And say goodbye to that $4.00 latte.

But seriously, after all these hurricanes Florida has been hit with, don't you think it's just adding insult to injury to now be attacked by a cloud? Well, according to local meteorologist Larry Mowry, it won't be so bad after all:
"The reason you probably haven't heard a lot about it is because the effects here are going to be very minimal. What we're talking about are beautiful sunrises and sunsets with reddish hues to them. And you may have a little dust on your car if you leave it outside during the day."
Ahhh. So a dust cloud approximately 3,120,062 square miles will provide Florida with pretty sunsets and a little bit of dust on their cars. Well, that's just pretty cool to me.

Another California Finger incident? A San Fransico prison inmate, who happens to be a vegetarian, bit into a human finger that was packaged within his vegie-meal. He's now suing the packing company for $75,000 because of the physical and mental trauma he has experienced, which includes losing 15 pounds of body weight. What's funny to me is that this guy is a convicted drug felon in a maxium security prison, and he loses his stomach and 15 pounds because of the emotional trauma he experiences from a little finger in his veggies. Poor guy.

And lastly on this week's news update: There is an Egg Alergy Alert! Beaverton Foods, Inc. is recalling Inglehoffer Wasabi Horseradish Code N172 due to undeclared egg. So be careful. I guess that this puts the Yolk Alert Level at code yellow. Ahh haha.

That is all.
