You ever feel a little like this when you come back from vacation?
[...]First, it was the balloon boy.
Half of Colorado was desperately trying to rescue what they thought was a child in a helium-filled balloon. And half of the word was watching it on television.
It was big, fat fake. A mother and father were longing for a gig on a [...]
It was the first time in my life I had ever heard the phrase “calling all cars” on the police radio. Every available officer was called to The Atlanta Federal Prison on November 13th, 1987.
Cuban prisoners were rioting at the prison. More than a hundred hostages were taken, and [...]
I am not the person to ask about shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Most of my gift purchases are made on the Internet.
The worst thing that I might have to endure shopping for Christmas presents would be a sore index finger from clicking.
That, and a sore bank [...]
After a lot of time and money spent trying to pry open government files on a purported UFO, it appears we are no closer to an answer. One thing this new report indicates: whatever landed in
Kecksburg, Pennsylvania was not ours, or the Soviet Union’s. [...]
Here’s a great video from Canada concerning Remembrance Day

Years ago, reporting on earthquakes was a fairly slow process of telephone calls to places that had seismic equipment, such as colleges or universities, or the USGS. Like so many other information sources, the data is now at our fingertips. So here’s a way you can get [...]

(edited version- thanks to a reader and museum official And I will be visiting soon. )
It was a beautiful day to do some work outside. There was a huge pile of brush that I needed to clear, and it was just warm enough to drag out the garden hose and [...]
Thanks to the person who sent these striking photos of an ASA/Delta airliner. The photo was captioned for April of this year.

Phil Williams was talking about this, or a similar product on the radio today. I believe if I could squeeze into such a thing, I would feel like a bratwurst… a big …balding … bratwurst. Here’s the company site.
[...]Police in Herscher, Ill., are looking for someone who entered a home and left behind Christmas decorations. Police Chief Rick Gilbert says a woman and her kids left for a weekend trip Saturday afternoon. When they returned Monday morning, they found their place decked out for the holidays with ornaments [...]
It was a Christmas tradition in Atlanta. You would haul the children downtown to see the decorations, maybe have some lunch, and then take a ride on The Pink Pig.
Some of you are already smiling.
Others…are downright confused.
The Pink Pig was a kiddie ride through Rich’s Department store’s upper level. I [...]
Looks like things are … as they say at NASA… nominal. Which means if I can keep my paws off the CSS code that runs this site, it’ll keep working. My buddy Hallerin Hilton Hill’s rolling eyes and sighs are enough to dissuade me from trying that again.
This site us [...]
I just spoke with Bert Rosen, the head of Knox Area Rescue Ministries.

Meals served: 1156 Wednesday, averaging about 1400 per day

Just when you thought you could pay a pocket full of money and escape to a movie and a bucket of popcorn– this study.
[...]
There should be warning lights. There should be an interlock that prevents the truck from moving. There should be a lot of things. And the two guys in the truck should be fried like a cheeseburger. Instead…thankfully, there is a smoking hole and a ruined truck. Both [...]
There’s a story in Rolling Stone about the next big act for the Super Bowl. Wonder if there’s a choreographer somewhere thinking ” How do we combine smashing a Fender Strat with four thousand dancers in day-glo green and orange leotards?”
[...]This is the new site for my website.
My thanks to Daniel and Sean at slamdot.com here in Knoxville. They came up with the idea of re-naming it “foulknews” to better reflect what you get when you visit. I’m especially pleased that I’m able to do business with a [...]

[...]What in the world has happened to us?
Do you feel like you’ve been kicked in the belly a couple of times?
You see people driving aggressively, angry at the supermarket, stomping through Wal-Mart. Snippy. Snarky. Just plain mad. Sometimes, it’s like our entire society is on-edge about everything in [...]

Someone sent me this photo of a Chevy Suburban, or what used to be a Suburban. A portable device charger was left plugged in, overheated, and …here comes the thousand word picture:

I can remember a couple of fights in newsrooms where I worked- fortunately I was not involved in any of them In one notable incident, (where I can’t name any names), the morning guy and a newsman got into an argument. One thing led to another, and [...]
