Just Another Nutcase?

Not here at the farm -- all serene here. 

But at the Asheville Airport, as President Obama was leaving on Sunday, the police arrested an armed man in a car equipped with clear LED law enforcement-style strobe lights in the front and rear dash. The car also had a mounted digital camera in the front window, four large antennas on the trunk lid, and under the steering wheel was a working siren box.

The armed man was not in law enforcement. When he got out of the car, he was listening to a handheld scanner and radio that had a remote earpiece. Police said he was monitoring local agencies and had formulas for rifle scopes on a note in his cup holder.

For the story I read, go HERE.

And for another story, with info gleaned from the Web to give a fuller picture of this individual (he likes ham radio, had trouble with girls, struggled to learn to play the piano), go to THIS STORY. 

(Reminder to self -- never post anything you don't want the world to know, especially if you plan to get arrested wearing a side arm and saying you just want to talk to the President.)

A Cow's Spring

                                                          No memory lingers

                                                          Of mud's misery, of dry hay,

                                                          Nor of snow and ice.

                                                          Warm in the Eternal Now,

                                                          The cows graze, gorging on Spring.   

 

 And speaking of grazing . . . the Obamas, who are vacationing in Asheville this weekend, made an excellent choice for good barbecue . . . they also went hiking . . . I keep wishing they'd stop by and set a spell on the porch.
