Another Grant, Snow & A Book Recall

Congratulations to Diane of Stafford who knew the answer to this morning's More's Mystery. It was "Pez Dispensers". Diane won a pair of tickets to the Fredericksburg Boat Show happening this weekend at the Fredericksburg Expo Center.


Tomorrow morning, we'll be looking for a person predominately known as a folk singer, but one who has crossed over into several music genres, including country, and who in 2008, made campaign appearances with John Edwards. Hey, there's something to be proud of, huh?


There is a great animal sanctuary in Orange called Rikki's Refuge. We've talked about them before. They do some really great work over there. From time to time, they have been eligible to win a grant to help their facility. All they need to win are votes. So, I'm asking for your help. Go onto their website at http://www.riikisrefuge.org/ and vote for them. It won't cost you one penny. It will take only moments, and let's see if we can get this done. We've come close before, but never got enough votes to win. Let's give it another shot. Remember, you can vote EVERY DAY. Vote and tell you friends and relatives to do the same.


It looks like more snow is on the way for the weekend. It's a little sketchy right now as to how much, but remember, you can always join us for the latest in cancellations, closings and delayed openings on Thunder 104.5, and on this website as well.


Another video of Osama Bin Laden surfaced over the weekend. In the video, he promised widespread death and destruction............unless Mylie Cyrus returns for at least one more season on Hanna Montana.


He also took responsibility for the effort to blow up a US airliner on Christmas Day.

Then, in a surprise announcement, he also promised that, later this year, he would be introducing his own signature line of exploding underpants.

Finally, I never heard of a book being recalled, but it's happening now. The U.S. Product Safety Commission has recalled the book, "Lowe's Complete Home Improvement & Repair.

The CPSC says the book is being recalled because following their wiring instructions could lead to users getting shocked, or worse, starting a fire. A spokesperson for the CPSC said, "The book contains errors in the technical diagrams and wiring instructions, which could lead consumers to incorrectly install or repair electrical wiring".

On the plus side, people who HAVE used this book, now say their TV makes GREAT toast.
