Hey y’all, Happy New Year? I hope y'all are staying warm these last few days and for those this coming week, there's even threats of (gulp), I don't wanna say it, it's the other four-letter word... no, no, no, not the F Bomb... Snow. My brother asked me if I have a snow shovel, I asked him to ship me one from California. He said he'd send one when he finds it. I don't even have an ice scraper, so I used my drivers license last time it snowed (2018) to clear my windshield. I remember driving home from work and seeing a wreck and two cars in the I-26 ditch. I made it home safely that day. Enough about the weather, we're looking forward to playing a new venue opening up close to Folly, The Rickhouse. The place is very nice, lots of room to move around and dance w/a full bar and restaurant! There's a $3 cover at the door, but just look at it as pre-tipping us, we hope to see you there! I believe the word's been put out, the Taste of Folly was re-scheduled to Sat Jan 25, we start at 10am, so dress warmly that morning. Later we're playing a set for the Bo's Oyster Roast over at James Island county Park, we kick up there around 4ish that afternoon. We'll be back on the beach in a few more weeks and partying like it's 1999! Thanks so much for supporting us, love y'all and see you soon, ciao’!
Quick, Before It’s Illegal! Kansas City to Consider Ordinance Requiring All Wheels of Vehicle Be on the Ground - KSHB Kansas City (Mo.) headline
Just Sit Right Back: The actual S.S. Minnow — the boat used in the 1964–1967 TV show Gilligan’s Island — has been fully restored. The wrecked boat on the show was a prop; the “real” Minnow was used for dream or flashback sequences during the show’s run. It was restored “from the gunnels up to build a pretty impressive, iconic machine that so many people are aware of,” says Ken Schley, who has owned it since 2006. Schley, who founded Quality Foods on Canada’s Vancouver Island, uses it for promotions, and loans it out to charities for fundraisers. “I still do gala events and stuff like that.” (Global News Canada) ...Despite it being a small boat, it takes 3 hours to tour it because the luggage compartment is gigantic.

Campus Police Just About Had a Meltdown The University of Utah football team was about to play San Diego State when a message was posted on Yik Yak, an anonymous hyper-local social media app: “If we don’t win today, I’m detonating the nuclear reactor on campus.” UU’s Salt Lake City campus does have a nuclear research reactor, and a student was arrested last month for making a bomb threat, so the community was edgy. Police tracked the message to engineering student Meredith L.U. Miller, 21, who told police the post was “a joke.” According to state law, bomb threats are a crime even if the person making it has no intent or ability to carry the threat out. Miller was arrested, charged with making terroristic threats. (KTVX Salt Lake City) …Being “anonymous” online: not as anonymous as everyone thinks.

Freak of Nomenclature Zephyrhills Branch
A burglar hit several businesses in Zephyrhills, Fla. At a restaurant, $600 worth of beer and hard seltzer, but the burglar didn’t drink them: he dumped them into a retention pond behind the building. At a barber shop, clippers, wireless earbuds, and a battery charger. At another barber shop, more clippers and scissors with a total value of $1,000. A bakery, $800 in cash, and keys. A cat rescue, veterinary drugs and syringes — and he left the door open so many of the cats wandered outside. And more. A doorbell camera caught him, leading to the arrest of a suspect who allegedly confessed to the burglaries, and showed investigators where he hid the loot. Lawrence Franklin King Florida, 28, was jailed. (Tampa Bay Times, WFLA Tampa) …Miss Florida: beauty pageant contestant. Mr. Florida: just another Florida Man.
From Jimbo – An 80-year old man was having his annual checkup when the doctor asked how he was feeling.
"I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an 18-year-old bride who's pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?”
The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day he went out in a bit of a hurry and accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun.”
The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?" the doctor queried.
Dumbfounded, the old man replied, "No, what?”
The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him.”
"That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot the bear.”
"That's kind of what I'm getting at," replied the doctor.."
