A 48 year old man is dead after attempting to perform an exorcism on his 3 year old granddaughter. When police showed up to the house, they found Ronald Marquez shirtless and holding his granddaughter in a headlock. The girl’s mother was lying naked on the bed covered in blood apparently a willing participant in the exorcism. The mother is not (yet) being charged with child abuse.
News reports showing the neighbors of the dead man all called him a nice guy. Family members called him kind and said that he would do anything for his family - including apparently trying to squeeze the devil out of his granddaughter.

Honda has this cartoon character named “Mr Opportunity”. One wonders what they are really advertising when we see and hear women excitedly exclaim, “it’s good to have you back Mr. O”. And guys give the two thumbs up, “way to go Mr. O”
He finishes up with, “I’m Mr. Opportunity, and I’m knocking.”
It’s been kind of a rough weekend for Phoenix news stations. Early Friday afternoon a police chase was being covered by news helicopters when two collided, bursting into flame and killing all four people on board. Despite being distraught and choking back emotions the coverage of the crash became the story. Normally reserved and professional news anchors were at times at a complete loss for words. ABC 15 story.

I don’t even know which category to put this into: The local Fox affiliate is reporting that vehicles stolen in the US are being “smuggled” into Iraq to be turned into car bombs. Do they really expect us to believe that there aren’t any cars closer to Iraq than the United States that can be turned into car bombs? Really?! Do they really expect us to believe that it’s not far more efficient to run over to Iran, steal a Puegot and drive it back across the border?
There’s a game that people play with fortunes from fortune cookies. Read the fortune and add the words, “in the bedroom”, to the end of your fortune. It makes them funnier. My wife’s last one was, “Face any problem with dignity.” Mine was, “You are talented in many ways.”

On our trip to our camping spot we drove down Lake Mary Rd. There were animals of all kinds on the side of the road, and one large bull crossed the road in front of the van forcing us to slow down to 15 mph in a 50 mph zone. The cows were mostly black angus. My youngest told us that she saw a fox and a squirrel playing together. When we told her that we weren’t sure that foxes and squirrels played together she told us that they were babies and still got along. That answers that question.
The one mystery remaining is why were the majority of the elk that we saw black? Normally elk have a black “mane” while the rest of their hides are a tan to brown color. We decided that their parents must have been into angus sex.
