We did something kind of fun this morning on the show. We held an on-air auction. Our very good friends over at Little Tire Company provided us with 5 tickets to see George Strait, along with Blake Shelton, this Saturday night at Nissan Pavilion. The bidding went on for one hour, 8 to 9, and the winning bid of $360.00 came in from Rae (No, not my wife) of Stafford. Congratulations, Rae (nice name)! The money goes to the Fredericksburg SPCA.
Tomorrow morning, I have another chance for you to win a pair of tickets to see Kenny Chesney on August 29. Be listening for Kenny to open that cold bottle of Corona, and then call in at 710-1045.
Also tomorrow, another chance to win a pair of tickets to see comedian/impressionist Johnny Counterfit at Bowles Farm on June 2o.
I've been getting some calls asking what happened to More's Mystery. It stems back to those electrical storms we had a week or so ago. You might recall the lightning damaged some of our equipment. One piece of equipment that was damaged is the apparatus that allows us to put callers on the air. That piece hasn't been repaired yet. We're waiting for a part to come in, and as soon as it does, we'll make the repair and More's Mystery will be back up and running.
You might have heard Shelia Quinn talking about this case this morning. Helen Immelt of Everett, Washington, got angry at her neighbor who filed a complaint about her chickens with the local homeowners association. So, Immelt parked in front of his house and laid on her horn for 10 straight minutes. Her neighbor called the police. They arrived and she left, but 2 hours later, she returned and did it again. This time, she was arrested and found guilty of a noise violation. She appealed her conviction on the grounds that honking her horn is free speech and protected by the First Amendment. The appeals judge disagreed. He said, "Honking which is done to annoy or harass others is NOT free speech." So here's my question: How come burning the American flag is considered a freedom of speech, but honking your horn is not IF it's done for the purpose of annoying someone. I would say when someone burns the American flag, they are probably, most likely doing it to annoy someone. It certainly annoys me. Therefore, how is it that burning the American flag is protected by the First Amendment, by honking your horn for 10 minutes isn't? Am I missing something here? I guess the bottom line here is honking is only free speech if you're a goose........

DUMB CRIMINAL ALERT!! DUMB CRIMINAL ALERT!!
There's a home improvement store in Spokane, Washington called Ziggy's. Employees there found a bag of methamphetamines near the cash register this past Sunday. They called the police. While they were waiting for the police, in comes Christopher Wilson. Wilson explained that he had been in the store earlier and lost something. He wouldn't say what it was. However, he did leave his name, address and phone number, in case it turned up. Spokane police say surveillance video showed him leaving the bag of meth behind, and the information HE provided made it easy to track him down and arrest him.
WHAT A DOPE!!! THIS GUY MUST HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS OR SOMETHING.
