Open For Business In Auburn, California, Danger In Disneyland & Aquapalooza

It's hard to believe that it's Aquapalooza time again, but sure enough, the world's largest water party is back tomorrow. We have a change in venue this year. Tim's I in Dunfries is the site for this year's event. Our headline performer this year is national recording star Matt Stillwell.And, of course, I'll be out there along with all the other Thunder air personalities, the Thunder crew, and hopefully, YOU'LL be there too.




A programming note: on Monday morning's show, in the eight o'clock hour, I will be joined in the studio by 9-year-old Megan Robertson and her mother, Heather. Megan (from Stafford) made national news last week when she had the opportunity to get up onstage and dance with Tim McGraw at Jiffy Lube Live. It's a great story. Megan has had some health issues in the past, and when she was rehabilitating, she would listen to Tim's music. So, this was truly a dream come true for her and we'll get the whole story on Monday.

Twenty-nine-year-old Travis Kevie of Newcastle, California is a very enterprising young man. Unfortunately, his enterprising nature got him arrested. Kevie broke into a shuttered, close-down bar in Auburn, California, called the Valencia Club, reopened it, and started selling drinks to unwitting customers. Auburn Police Detective Jim Hudson became suspicious after reading about the Valencia Club's re-opening in a local Auburn newspaper. The article even featured a picture of Kevie and identified him as the new "owner/operator.
Not only had Detective Hudson had previous run-ins with Kevie, but he also happened to know that the Valencia's liquor license had been surrendered. Sure enough, when Detective Hudson went to the bar to investigate, he found it was open for business with customers at the bar. Kevie quickly went from behind the bar to behind bars.


So, here's just another example of small business being stifled by the government.


Here's a story I had to laugh it when I read it this morning: Disneyland has closed down it's Alice In Wonderland ride while workers install new safety equipment recommended by the California work-safety inspectors. Have you ever been on the Alice In Wonderland ride?

You have better odds of being injured in Disneyland or Disney World by a senior citizen driving one of those Rascal scooters.
And yes, it's true. The Golden Girl, Taylor Swift has been nominated to be inducted into the Bowling Hall of Fame. The Bowling Proprietor's Association recently announced the list of nominees who, according to the association, helped contribute to the enduring popularity of ....................bowling. Aside from Taylor, some of the other notables nominated include Bill Murray, Jeff Bridges, Jimmy Fallon, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian (those last two make even less sense than Taylor Swift). You are invited to vote online at http://www.gobowling.com/ . If Taylor wins, watch for Kanya West to interrupt the induction ceremony complaining that Beyonce is a better bowler.


What's next for Taylor Swift? Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize?
