Panic continues to ensue around the world over swine flu. The World Society for the Protection of Animals is criticizing Egypt for their insane decision to kill all of their pigs, 300,000 of them in all. Egypt decided to kill all of their pigs because they thought it would cut down on swine flu. The World Health Organization reminded them that this was completely UN necessary because the disease is spread through humans, NOT pigs. Too late now. On the plus side, the cost of footballs should go way down this year.
A good story with a happy ending comes out of North Platte, Nebraska. A 6 year-old boy grabbed the wheel of his family's pickup truck when his father passed out behind the wheel from an attack of low blood sugar. Tustin Mains (No, it's not a typo. That's his name) was in the back seat with his 3 year-old brother on Sunday. His father was driving. They were all coming back from a restaurant. The boy leaped into his father's lap so he could steer and see out the windshield. Even though his dad's foot had slipped off the accelerator of the Chevrolet Avalanche, it was still going at around 15 miles per hour. The boy steered the truck for several blocks, until he was spotted by North Platte Police Officer Roger Freeze, who ran along side the truck on foot and was eventually able to reach inside through an open window and ram the gearshift into park. Nobody got hurt. In fact, there wasn't even any property damage.
My question in all this: How do you suffer from low blood sugar coming BACK from a restaurant?
Finally, a sad note in the world of show business: Late last week, Wayne Allwine died. He was the actor who did the voice of Mickey Mouse for the last 30 years.
Here he is pictured with his wife of 20 years, Russi Taylor, who oddly enough, did the voice of Minnie Mouse. She was at his side at the time of his death. He was 62.October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 June 2010 July 2010 August 2010
