Police warn of possibly drunk, 'very pushy' door-to-door meat salesmen

http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2017/04/door-to-door_meat_salesmen_in.html#incart_river_home_pop

NORTHERN MICHIGAN - Michigan State Police are warning Northern Michigan residents of "scruffy" men going door-to-door trying to sell meat to residents.

MSP was contacted about two men in a small white pickup truck trying to sell meat out of the back of their pickup.

The men are described as "rough and scruffy." One has a dark complexion, is in his 50s and is heavy set. The other man is a white male with red-blond hair in his 30s with a medium build.

Could it be...........Fred Garvin?

It bothers me a little that I knew who Fred Garvin was before looking at the YouTube.   :whistle:

Cremation of 'overly obese' corpse sets funeral home on fire
https://www.yahoo.com/news/cremation-apos-overly-obese-apos-124507710.html

A routine cremation at a Cincinnati funeral home took an unexpected turn when flames from an "overly obese" body spread, starting an unscheduled fire.

The "freak accident" took place at the Hillside Chapel Crematory in Ohio's third-largest city on Wednesday (26 April) night....
“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour

Oh, dear........... that's disturbing.

So many things I could say............................. but won't.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

My bil set his carport on fire one thankgiving when he over filled the deep fat turkey fryer with oil and dropped the bird in it.  Once all that oil hit the flames it was all down hill.....and very entertaining.  He had spread  news paper out under the fryer to keep any grease splatters from staining the cement.  There is a reason they say oil and water don't mix.....once the water from the hose hit that paper and oil it looked like a scene out Tora Tora Tora...large fire barges floating on the water setting fire to everything in its path.

@Wingnut @Bigun And that, dear friends, is why you never try to put out a grease fire with agua.

I've fried a few turkeys, and I love them.  Mrs. Liberty, not so much so we don't do it very often.

We fry one or two (depending on how many folks are coming) every thanksgiving but we try not to kill anyone or burn the place down in the process!

Once you've experienced a properly fried turkey the baked ones will never work for you again.

I noticed at the end when the guy was doing it "properly" by lowering the turkey slowly it still had the plastic pop-up timer thingy.  Unless you want your turkey to taste like vaporized plastic it's best to pull that out and trash it.

A lot of the danger is because of the gas burner, which I used one time.  It was difficult to control the temperature with that, so I bought a much safer electric model with a thermostat.

The problem the Mrs. has with it is you don't get drippings for gravy and no stuffing.  I find the meat beyond wonderful.  If I want a fried bird, it has to be in addition to another whole turkey. :shrug:

Nice. But pricey.  One would have to do more than a few birds a year to make it pay off.

Frying a bird outside doesn't fill the house with delicious baking turkey scents.

We use the same burners we use with the fish fryers with no problems at all!  The key is making sure the bird is THROUGLY thawed out and at room temperature before you slowly lower it into the peanut oil.  And you have to have one of those new fangledy thermometer thingys!

Lightning strike kills 32 cows near Cabool

As he does every morning, Texas County dairy farmer Jared Blackwelder started milking his cows around 4 a.m. Saturday. He finished up just before daylight and headed back to the barn. He was about to lock the gate when lightning struck hard and close.

"It was so bright I couldn't hardly see," he said. "It just brought fire down the fences."

Later in the day when it was time to milk again, Blackwelder returned to the field and found 32 of his certified organic cows dead....
